The US will not return the Statue of Liberty: "Thanks to us, France doesn't speak German."

Washington.- White House spokeswoman, Caroline Leavitt, rejected this Monday that the US returned the Statue of Liberty to France, after a French parliamentarian called for the gift to be returned to the Americans in the 1880s.

"Absolutely not," Leavitt said when asked if the monument would be returned.

"My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind him that it's only thanks to the United States of America that the French aren't speaking German right now, so they should be very grateful to our great country," he added.

The center-left French politician in the European Parliament Raphael Glucksmann He criticized the current situation in the United States, stating that it no longer represents the values ​​that led France to offer the statue in 1884.
