French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced that the US Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, will be summoned over the US embassy’s comments regarding the killing of far-right activist Quentin Deranque in Lyon. Barrot emphasized that France rejects any political exploitation of this tragedy. Deranque, who died from head injuries sustained during a protest, has sparked international reactions and diplomatic tensions, particularly with Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Six men have been charged in connection with his death, which has heightened political tensions ahead of France’s upcoming presidential election.
