WASHINGTON -- France has summoned the American ambassador to Paris after the diplomat, Charles Kushner, wrote a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron alleging the country did not do enough to combat antisemitism.
France's foreign ministry issued a statement Sunday announcing it had summoned Kushner to appear Monday at the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and that his allegations are unacceptable.
The White House and U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The summoning of the ambassador is a formal and public notice of displeasure. Kushner, a real-estate developer, is the father of President Donald Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The French foreign ministry, in its statement, said France firmly rejects these allegations from Kushner and that French authorities have fully mobilized to combat a rise in antisemitic acts since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel, deeming the acts intolerable. The contents of the letter were not released.

Tell me why any country should take the US's antisemite rantings seriously.
