A French official made what appears to be a tongue-in-cheek request that President Donald Trump return the Statue of Liberty.
Raphael Glucksmann, who represents France in the European Parliament, told his fellow Socialists and Democrats alliance members that the United States should return the monument, which was given as a gift in 1886.
“We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: ‘Give us back the Statue of Liberty,’” Glucksmann said, per a Saturday report from Politico.
“We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home,” he added.
