Washington pulls out of UN meeting after France's critique
The withdrawal of American diplomats from the UN Security Council session on Ukraine, following France's criticism of the Trump administration's human rights record, is seen as an escalation of tensions between Washington and Paris. The departure occurred during the French delegation's speech, after the United States objected to renewing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk's term, despite France’s support for him.

The US deputy ambassador accused France of trying to lecture others on human rights, amid global voices supporting the decision to renew Turk's mandate.
