Raphaël Glucksmann quips that US should give back 19th-century gift from France over Trump’s approach to Ukraine

A French European parliament member has quipped that the US should return the Statue of Liberty, which it received as a gift from France about 140 years ago, after Donald Trump’s decision “to side with the tyrants” against Ukraine.

“Apparently you despise it,” said Raphaël Glucksmann of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, evidently with his tongue in his cheek. “So, it will be just fine here at home.”
