France issues apology to US over July 25 tweet
The French Permanent Mission to the United Nations expressed regret over the posting of a tweet criticizing the United States' vote in the General Assembly, affirming that a single voting disagreement does not reflect a rift in the relations between the two countries. In response to this acknowledgment of an error, the approval for the appointment of Orian Lochevalier as France's ambassador to Washington was reinstated, after the U.S. Department had suspended procedures due to the disagreement over the vote against extending the term of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. This comes at a time when tensions between France and the United States have been evident, including disagreements over votes against American policies at the UN, which prompted a strong response from Washington and criticisms related to human rights.
