French President Emmanuel Macron said it was out of line for Charles Kushner, the U.S. ambassador to France and the father of President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, to publicly accuse him of taking insufficient action to combat antisemitism, and for him to link France's foreign policy positions to domestic incidents of violence against Jews in France.
In a letter he published in the Wall Street Journal to Macron in August, Kushner wrote that he had "deep concern over the dramatic rise of antisemitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it."
"Public statements haranguing Israel and gestures toward recognition of a Palestinian state embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France," he wrote, urging Macron to "enforce hate-crime laws without exception; ensure the safety of Jewish schools, synagogues and businesses, prosecute offenders to the fullest extent; and abandon steps that give legitimacy to Hamas and its allies."
In an interview with "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan on Thursday in Paris, Macron called Kushner's criticism a "mistake" and an "unacceptable statement for somebody who is supposed to be a diplomat."
"This is unacceptable," he said.
Macron said a French ambassador would never be allowed to make public remarks about another country because it would risk diplomacy with those nations.
"So either you are a person who wants to express freely," Macron said. "If you are a diplomat, you have to follow the rule of diplomacy. … The [American] taxpayer money is not used to finance this kind of statement."
France's foreign ministry summoned the ambassador last month in a formal rebuke. The French ministry said Kushner's claims "run counter to international law," citing the "obligation not to interfere in the internal affairs of states" in the 1961 Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations.

But...but...aren’t Jews experiencing increasing attacks in France? From antisemitism and foreign residents?
🤫
So now Marcon speaks for the American taxpayer.
Piss off Macroon.
You misspelled "Moron"...
But is it true?
This is the thanks we get for rescuing their sorry asses during WW2.
He represents the US not France.
Macron, is only pissed because Kushner is right!
Go blow your wife Macron.
We see jewish students being persecuted all over the USA. Palestinian flags all over American campuses... And the US ambassador is critiquing France!?
How cute!
Reports from many sources indicate a significant rise in incidents of antisemitism and harassment directed at Jewish students on U.S. college campuses, particularly following the events of October 7, 2023. These incidents have been documented through federal investigations, lawsuits, and surveys, highlighting patterns of discrimination, threats, and exclusion that have affected Jewish students’ sense of safety and belonging.
For instance, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported 1,162 antisemitic incidents in K-12 schools in 2023, with an additional 860 in the following period, including harassment and discrimination.
So I guess that the French Ambassador in Washington will be criticizing America very soon... A tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye... diplomatically of course.
PS. Even though I oppose Macron’s policies like 75% of the French people, the US ambassador would have been smarter to think twice before criticizing a whole nation, while forgetting what’s actually happening in his own turf...
Not a fan of Macron or Kushner,who was convicted of 16 felonies.
After Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal authorities, the wealthy real estate executive and father of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared, hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation.
Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife.
Pay back what you owe us, leach!
And WW1. My namesake, my grandfather barely survived places like St. Mithel and The Meuse-Argonne in 1918.
Crispy Creme is one of the most loathsome, disgusting piles of RINO dogsqueeze I have ever seen...
Yeah? And whatcha gonna do about it Macron? Marry a man?
Not so. It’s “Mohron”. As in Mamdani
Mohron and Moron - two “piss” in a pod...
Canada, Uk, EU, & Ukraine are doing everything they can to screw the USA.
Von der Leyen rejects key Trump demand:
“The EU is not going to impose tariffs on imports from India and China in spite of US President Donald Trump’s request, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in an interview with Le Soir published on Sunday.”
The leaders of these countries have unfortunately chosen a path to despair for their countries and squelched the voibes of their patriotic citizens.
Trump and patriotic Americans are washing their hands of these so-called leaders because they’ve chosen the road to hell.
