According to a report by the Associated Press on July 27, at a UN meeting held on the 27th, American diplomats left the venue in groups during a speech by the French representative to protest against France's previous human rights record of criticizing the Trump administration. This unexpected scene happened at the UN Security Council meeting on the Ukraine issue. The trigger was America's previous opposition to the re-election of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk. Turk received overwhelming support in the UN vote last week, and France voted in favor. The departure of the US representative not only reflected the strained relationship between US President Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron, but also highlighted the increasingly sharp conflict between the US and Europe as a whole. US official to the United Nations Dan Negrea criticized France for pretending to be “moral outrage” and trying to preach to the world on all topics, including human rights issues.
