French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot says US Ambassador Charles Kushner will be summoned over the US embassy’s recent comments on the killing of a far-right French activist this month in the southeastern city of Lyon.

“We are going to summon the United States ambassador to France since the US embassy in France commented on this tragedy, … which concerns the national community,” Barrot told the French newspaper Le Monde and public broadcasters France Inter and France Info on Sunday.
