Controversy about statue of freedom
Trump spokeswoman irritated: Without the United States, French would “speak German”
A French politician asks the United States returning the statue of Liberty. Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reacts with a sharp comment.
The Statue of Liberty remains in the United States: The White House rejected the demand of a French MP after returning the Kolossalden monument. Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reacted on Monday to the demand of the parliamentarian Raphaël Glucksmann with the sharp comment that “only because of the United States does not speak German today”. You should therefore “be very grateful to our great country,” she added.
President Donald Trump’s spokeswoman thus referred to the decisive role of the United States in the liberation of France from the Nazi rule in World War II. She described the MP Glucksmann as “nameless, low -ranked French politician”.
Controversy about statue of freedom
Glucksmann had asked the United States to return the statue of Liberty to France on Sunday at the Central left-left party Place Publique (PP). The United States had “decided to switch to the tyrant side,” he explained his claim. “We gave you them, but apparently you despise them.”
France had once given the United States to the United States for the hundredth anniversary of its declaration of independence dated July 4, 1776. The 46 meter high copper statue is enthroned with its seven -jet crown and the gilded torch in the hand over the New York port. For millions of immigrants who once waited for a better life on the neighboring island of Ellis Island for the entry permit to the United States.
