French Politician Suggests U.S. No Longer Worthy Of Keeping Statue Of Liberty

4 weeks ago A French politician has suggested the U.S. is no longer worthy of keeping the Statue of Liberty. Raphaël Glucksmann is a member of the European Parliament and co-president of a small left-wing party. His call for the return of the monument isn't going to make it happen. But his claims in a speech this weekend that some Americans “have chosen to switch to the side of the tyrants” reflect the broad shockwaves that U.S. President Donald Trump’s seismic policy shifts are triggering in Europe. The White House brushed back on the comments on Monday saying that France instead should still be “grateful” for U.S. support during World War I and World War II.
