French MEP Seeks Return of Statue of Liberty

News summary

French MEP Raphael Glucksmann has called for the United States to return the Statue of Liberty, arguing that under President Donald Trump, the U.S. has deviated from the values the statue represents. Glucksmann criticized Trump's policies, particularly his stance on Ukraine, which he views as siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his cuts to U.S. research institutions. He proposed that France welcome U.S. researchers affected by these cuts, suggesting they could benefit the French economy. The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886, symbolizes freedom and democracy, values Glucksmann believes are now undermined by U.S. policies. This request highlights broader European discontent with Trump's foreign and domestic policies. Glucksmann's remarks received significant attention and support within his Place Publique party and the French political landscape.
