France to summon U.S. ambassador over comments on activist’s death
France plans to summon the U.S. ambassador in Paris after the U.S. State Department’s Counterterrorism Bureau posted on X about the death of French far-right activist Quentin Deranque, who died from brain injuries after a beating. French authorities view the message as interference in an internal case that remains under investigation. The move adds a diplomatic layer to an already sensitive incident involving political activism, violence and official communication on social media between two close allies.
