Aurélien Lechevallier finally obtains approval as France's ambassador to Washington
According to Le Monde, the diplomat's assumption of duties has been blocked since late July due to a diplomatic rift between Paris and Washington.
France's new ambassador to the United States, Aurélien Lechevallier, has finally obtained the approval necessary to assume his post in Washington, according to Le Monde.
According to the newspaper, this appointment had been held up since the end of July due to a diplomatic rift between France and the United States, though Le Monde did not provide further details about the nature of this dispute.
The blockage lasted several weeks before the American administration granted the approval allowing the French diplomat to officially settle into his role at the French embassy in Washington.
Le Monde has not yet indicated a specific date for Aurélien Lechevallier's actual arrival on American soil or a timeline for the presentation of his credentials.
