Kushner was ordered to report to the French foreign ministry on Monday after a letter criticising France’s response to rising antisemitism
A diplomatic row between the United States and France escalated on Monday when Washington decided to stand firmly behind its ambassador’s criticism of the French response to a rising tide of antisemitism.
But, as Kushner was absent, the US embassy’s charge d’affaires went in his place and was received by two French foreign ministry directors, a French diplomatic source said.
France retorted that “the allegations from the ambassador are unacceptable” and the rift deepened on Monday when Kushner was summoned to the ministry and the Trump administration doubled down on his critique.
