WASHINGTON -- France has summoned the American ambassador to Paris after the diplomat, Charles Kushner, wrote a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron alleging the country did not do enough to combat antisemitism.

France's foreign ministry issued a statement Sunday announcing it had summoned Kushner to appear Monday at the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and that his allegations “are unacceptable.”

The White House and U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The summoning of the ambassador is a formal and public notice of displeasure. Kushner, a real-estate developer, is the father of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

The French foreign ministry, in its statement, said “France firmly rejects these allegations” from Kushner and that French authorities have “fully mobilized” to combat a rise in antisemitic acts since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel, deeming the acts “intolerable.” The contents of the letter were not released.

1. Good...

I hope they tear him a new asshole. He should still be in prison not pretending to be a diplomat in Paris.

[Old Crank]

2. From the country where the VP is an antisemite.

Vance and trump supporting the AfD in Germany. They want all Jewish people out of Germany. Forced evictions if they don't leave voluntarily.
Tell me why any country should take the US's antisemite rantings seriously.

3. No Chuck. It's just that they don't like YOU personally and

not because you're Jewish.

4. Kushner, another G.ddamn felon.

5. The present GQP don't care about Jewish nor Muslim..............

8. Vive la France!

9. Kushner was completely unqualified for such an important diplomatic position in the first place,

and it was highly insulting to have fobbed someone with his criminal and unsavory personal background off on the French people.

10. Many of the Ambassador positions

go to the big donors and/or "friends" of the President. The diplomatic corps, who I expect Rubio already gutted, generally provided the actual knowledge base/support.

12. Reject the nepo-felon

France does not need to be besmirched by a criminal masquerading as an "ambassador".
Send him back.
