The diplomatic tensions between the United States and France have intensified, with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot demanding an explanation from U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner for his absence from a scheduled meeting. This meeting was crucial to address controversial comments made by the U.S. administration regarding the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque. Barrot expressed surprise at Kushner's failure to attend, stating, "It’s a surprise," and emphasized that Kushner's actions do not align with the "most basic customs of diplomacy." Following Kushner's repeated snubbing of summonses, France has now blocked him from accessing government officials, indicating a significant diplomatic standoff. Despite this, Barrot noted that this incident would not fundamentally affect Franco-U.S. relations, which have weathered other storms, but acknowledged it would impact Kushner's ability to fulfill his diplomatic role in France.
