Macron has let his prime minister, François Bayrou, play the role of being a more critical voice. Bayrou tore into the “brutality” that was shown to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his White House visit and suggested that Trump’s administration risked handing victory to Russia when it paused military aid to Ukraine.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made it clear Monday the landmark is staying right where it is, Mediaite reported. Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Leavitt if the Statue of Liberty was France bound after French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann demanded its return Sunday.

French politician Raphaël Glucksmann called for the return of the Statue of Liberty — a gift from France — in a symbolic critique of the Trump administration.
