France is summoning U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner after he criticized French President Emmanuel Macron's response to rising antisemitism in the country.

France strongly rejected the “unacceptable” allegations in Kushner’s letter, which the ministry said “fall short of the quality of the transatlantic relationship” between the US and France.

The new American envoy, Charles Kushner, said that France was not doing enough to protect its Jewish citizens, a charge the government in Paris said it “firmly refutes.”
