French Politician Calls for Statue of Liberty’s Return to France
French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann called for the return of the Statue of Liberty to France, arguing that the US no longer embodies the values it symbolized when gifted. His demand, made at a Place Publique party convention, stemmed from criticism of the Trump administration’s policies, including cuts to research funding and dismissals of scientists. Glucksmann contrasted this with France’s welcoming stance towards these researchers. He also condemned the alignment of French far-right leaders with Trump and Elon Musk.
