Embassy of France in the US - France/United States Relations

The Embassy of France in the US has posted a letter from the French Ambassador addressed to Congressmen, Administration Officials, and Media representatives. The Ambassador is upset about the way France has been portrayed in the media lately, especially that many of the disparaging remarks seem to come from "anonymous administration officials." So, is the White House participating in a smear campaign against France? If so, how coordinated is it, and why are my tax dollars being used to fund it?

For more than two hundred years, the United States and France have been friends and allies. But for several months, some members of the American media have issued false accusations against France.
