**Washington D.C.** – The White House today dismissed a demand by a French member of the European Parliament for the return of the Statue of Liberty, asserting that France’s liberation from Nazi Germany was due to US intervention in World War II.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply rebuked the unnamed MEP, stating that France’s current independence is a direct result of American assistance. Leavitt’s statement emphasized the significant role the US played in the Allied victory, implying that France should express gratitude rather than make such a request. The White House offered no further comment on the specific details of the MEP’s call.
