US Envoy Kushner Sparks Diplomatic Tensions With France. A diplomatic row between France and the United States has eased after Charles Kushner regained full access to the French government. But the episode has exposed growing tensions over what European officials see as US interference in domestic politics. France’s foreign minister summoned Kushner after the US embassy reposted comments from the State Department linking the killing of a far-right activist to rising “violent radical extremism.” When Kushner failed to attend the meeting, French officials briefly restricted his access to ministers. President Emmanuel Macron later called for calm, while France said the ambassador had clarified he did not intend to interfere in internal affairs. Officials suggested the incident reflected Kushner’s lack of diplomatic experience. The controversy comes amid wider concerns in Europe about increasingly public US commentary on domestic politics, often via social media platform X.
