  • Center-left French lawmaker Raphael Glucksmann accused the U.S. of abandoning the values that made it a strong ally to Europe.

A French lawmaker, Charles de Courson, has humorously demanded the return of the Statue of Liberty from the United States, citing America's failure to uphold the values the statue symbolizes, particularly in light of the U.S. debt ceiling crisis. This satirical request was made during a French National Assembly debate on the country's own debt issues, where de Courson criticized the U.S. for not managing its finances responsibly. He suggested that if the U.S. cannot honor the principles of freedom and responsibility represented by the statue, France should take it back. This comment was part of a broader discussion on financial responsibility and was not intended as a serious legislative proposal.
