France has restricted United States Ambassador Charles Kushner from meeting with French government ministers. This decision follows his absence from a meeting at the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs in Paris, where he was expected to address comments by the Trump administration regarding the recent death of a French far-right activist.

The French Foreign Ministry announced this measure on Monday, citing ongoing diplomatic tensions between Paris and Washington. These tensions arise from disagreements on several issues, including trade tariffs, the war in Ukraine, and Europe's role in countering Russia.

The ministry stated that Ambassador Kushner is no longer permitted direct access to members of the French government due to his failure to meet the ambassadorial mission's basic requirements. However, he is allowed to continue his diplomatic duties and engage in "exchanges" with officials.

Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot summoned Kushner after the US embassy in Paris reposted comments from the Trump administration about the death of Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old far-right activist, who was killed in an altercation with alleged far-left activists. Instead of attending the meeting personally, Kushner sent a senior embassy official, citing personal commitments.

This incident is not the first instance of Kushner refusing a summons from the French Foreign Ministry. In August 2025, he was summoned following his criticism of French President Emmanuel Macron's handling of anti-Semitism, but he did not attend that meeting either.
