French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot plans to summon U.S. Ambassador to France Charles Kushner for a discussion following controversial American comments regarding the murder of French far-right activist Quentin Deranque. This move reflects France's discontent with how the U.S. is framing the incident, especially against the backdrop of increasing tensions between the French political left and right.

Both the U.S. embassy in France and the U.S. State Department's antiterrorism division have been closely monitoring the situation. The latter had previously stated that the matter is concerning, highlighting the emerging threat of violent radical left-wing politics in France. These comments have added fuel to the ongoing political strife in the country and have prompted French officials to express their displeasure at what they perceive as the U.S. leveraging the situation for its own political narratives.

Minister Barrot criticized the United States for using the tragedy of Deranque's murder to push their own agendas, asserting that the incident affects the national community of France. His statement emphasizes the French government’s stance on protecting national integrity from foreign political exploitation, signaling a potential diplomatic rift between France and the U.S. over narratives pertaining to domestic violence and terrorism.
