US Ambassador Banned After Ignoring French Summons
Charles Kushner is the US ambassador to France. France banned him from meeting government leaders.
Kushner failed to attend a summons from France's Foreign Ministry. The ministry wanted to discuss US comments about activist Quentin Deranque's death. France's government under Emmanuel Macron deepened its dispute with Kushner over the no-show.
Klear Note — US ambassadors represent America in foreign countries. Ignoring a government summons is a serious diplomatic insult. This deepens tensions between the US and France.
