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.

The White House responded by saying that “it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leaviitt reminded a French politician who wants the Statue of Liberty back that the U.S. saved him from Nazi Germany.
