US promises not to ‘interfere’ in French affairs – media

Paris is upset over Washington’s reaction to the murder of a right-wing activist in France

US Ambassador to France Charles Kushner has pledged not to “interfere” in French internal affairs after a diplomatic row over the killing of a right-wing activist.

The US described the incident as a manifestation of rising “violent radical leftism” in France. Paris took offense, taking the statements as interference in its domestic politics.
