US Ambassador Charles Kushner, stationed in Paris, will be summoned to the French Foreign Ministry over comments made by the Trump administration regarding the death of a radical far-right student, the foreign minister announced Sunday.

"We will summon the United States ambassador to France, since the United States embassy in France has commented on this tragedy (...) which concerns the national community," said Jean-Noël Barrot, a guest on France Info/France Inter/Le Monde.

"We refuse any exploitation of this tragedy (...) for political purposes," he added, believing that France had "no lessons to learn about violence, especially from the reactionary international."

The minister's entourage, when questioned by AFP, was not immediately able to specify the date of the summons.

Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old radical far-right activist, was beaten to death in Lyon by members of the ultra-left.

The Trump administration on Friday denounced far-left political violence in its first official reaction to the death in France of this radical far-right activist, calling for those responsible to be brought to justice.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also commented on the death of Quentin Deranque in France, provoking a clash with French President Emmanuel Macron who asked her to stop "commenting on what is happening in other countries".

The American ambassador to France, who took up his post last summer, had already been summoned at the end of August to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after criticism deemed unacceptable by Paris regarding "the lack of sufficient action" against Emmanuel Macron's anti-Semitism.

"In the absence of Ambassador" Charles Kushner, it was the chargé d'affaires of the American embassy who attended this meeting.
