France has revoked government access to U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner, the father of President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, after he "did not appear" when he was summoned over comments made by the U.S. administration about the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque, AFP reported.
On Monday, French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot summoned Jared Kushner's father in reaction to a State Department posting on X, which claimed that "reports, corroborated by the French Minister of the Interior, that Quentin Deranque was killed by left-wing militants, should concern us all."
Deranque was reportedly beaten to death after being attacked near where a far-left lawmaker, Rima Hassan, was speaking.
"We reject any instrumentalization of this tragedy, which has plunged a French family into mourning, for political ends," Barrot said. "We have no lessons to learn, particularly on the issue of violence, from the international reactionary movement."
