France summoned U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner over comments made by the U.S. Embassy regarding the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque, who died after a violent brawl in Lyon. French officials condemned the remarks as interference in domestic affairs. Kushner was banned from meeting French government members after failing to attend a summons by the Foreign Affairs ministry.
