The French foreign ministry says US envoy Charles Kushner should be blocked from access to the government, after he failed to explain comments about an alleged “rise” of violence in France.
Kushner, father of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, had been summoned to meet French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Monday evening, but he did not attend.
Instead, he said he had a prior engagement and sent a deputy from the US embassy.
This prompted an angry response from the ministry, which accused Kushner of an “apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission” and said Barrot had requested Kushner “no longer be allowed direct access” to government ministers.
He’s the Presidents daughters father in law. Why tf is he involved in anything?
Shouldn’t it be people like ex sec-state Hillary Clinton (D) or Condolezza Rice ®?
In Australia, it’s usually ex-ministers that are given ambassador roles - people who already know the ins and outs of Australian government, have served the Australian government and probably have networks overseas they can call favours from to assist/better the nation.
The “pardoned for several felonies” Presidents daughters father in law.
You just said why!
Because he’s willing to suck Orange man’s fun sized twizzler for it.
