The French foreign ministry has called for US envoy Charles Kushner to be denied access to the government after he failed to address comments regarding a rise in violence in France. Kushner, who did not attend a meeting with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, sent a deputy instead. The situation escalated following a US embassy post about the murder of far-right nationalist Quentin Deranque, which angered the French government. Barrot condemned the use of the tragedy for political purposes, while six men have been charged in connection with Deranque's death. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
