French Politician Calls for Return of Statue of Liberty from US

Raphael Glucksmann, a French parliament member, has called for the United States to return the Statue of Liberty to France. He made the statement at a convention of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, suggesting that the US has come to "despise" the statue and what it symbolizes. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded by saying that the US has "absolutely no intention" of returning the statue, which was a gift from France to the US.
