Raphael Glucksmann, member of the left political party Place Publique, is calling for the United States to return the Statue of Liberty, arguing that America no longer embodies the values the sculpture represents, French newspaper Le Monde reported.
He further criticized the US, saying, "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty.'"
“We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So, it will be just fine here at home,” Glucksmann said.
Glucksmann, a staunch defender of Ukraine, has repeatedly criticized US President Donald Trump’s stance toward Ukraine and Russia.
