France Blocks US Ambassador’s Access to Ministers Over No-Show
The French government has blocked access for US Ambassador Charles Kushner to meetings with French ministers after he failed to attend a scheduled meeting. According to reports, Kushner was summoned by the French authorities over comments made about an activist’s killing.
Kushan was also banned from attending meetings with French government officials following a previous incident involving a far-right student who died in police custody. In this case, 11 people were arrested in connection with the beating death of the student.
The US Embassy in France has declined to comment on the matter, citing diplomatic protocol. The French government has not provided further information on the reasons behind Kushner’s exclusion from meetings with ministers.
Kushner had previously made comments about an activist’s killing, which led to his summons by the French authorities. However, details of these comments are not available in the public domain.
The incident highlights tensions between the US and France over issues related to human rights and freedom of speech. The situation remains unresolved, with no clear resolution in sight.
