The US ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, has reportedly assured French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot he will not interfere in the country's affairs, after he failed to explain claims France had seen a "rise" in violence.

The pair spoke by phone on Tuesday after Barrot blocked Kushner, father of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, from access to ministers in response to the US envoy's apparent snubbing of a summons on Monday evening over his comments.

On Monday, Kushner had cited a prior engagement and sent a deputy instead of answering the summon himself.

The pair have reportedly agreed to meet face-to-face in the coming days. Neither has spoken publicly about Tuesday's talks.

"[Barrot] reiterated the reasons that had led to the summons: France cannot accept any form of interference or manipulation of its national public debate by the authorities of a third country," a member of the foreign minister's team told French media about Tuesday's call.

"The ambassador took note and expressed his willingness not to interfere in our public debate."

There is no such thing as a US Ambassador. The term is now Belligerent Politirapist. They only exist to politically fuck you without consent.
