Yes, a country can reject an ambassador nominated by another country by refusing to grant them "agrément," which is essentially their approval to serve as an ambassador in that country; this is often done without explanation and is considered a diplomatic signal of disapproval, with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations outlining this right within international law.

Which brings me to the case of the recently named future ambassador to France, Jared's dad.

Trump picks Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner, for ambassador to France

Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law, pleaded guilty to 18 federal charges in 2004 and was pardoned by Trump in 2020.

In 2019, while he was still governor, Christie called the Kushner case “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted ... and I was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey.”

When Chuck learned his brother-in-law was going to testify against him in his criminal trial he hired a prostitute to lure the witness in to a sexual encounter that was secretly taped. Designed to blackmail his brother-in-law in to not cooperating with the feds. In order to carry out his plan Charles sent the tape to...........wait for it............the wife of the potential witness...........his sister.

I have to ask, is this sort of thing really what you folks signed up for in voting for trump? Sending a convicted criminal to France as our ambassador because Kushner is his son-in-law's dad.
 
A nation can always declare a foreign citizen persona non grata. Or, do what China did and ban citizens from entry as they did with Pompeo and Rubio among others.

Rubio will become S.O.S. This could be quite an interesting situation for China if he plans of visiting them. It will force them to lose face if they lift the ban,

It clearly is. The more disruption and destruction and rage and discomfort they cause and see, the happier they are.

There is no way to understand this degree of anger. They feel incredibly victimized, and this is all a big FUCK YOU to America.

They want everyone else to feel as miserable and hopeless as they are.

I don’t want us sending ambassadors to any country, or accepting them from anywhere; don’t makes no difference to me.

They are acting like petulant children in support of a petulant child. Being too lazy to work on fixing the system by voting for representatives intent on doing so they instead choose to take the system down.

I've thought a lot about that over these ugly years.

I believe they know they lack the capacity for collaboration, innovation and advanced, patient problem-solving. So all they have left is to attack and destroy. It's much easier. I wonder how many of them have ever had a job in which they had to work with others to solve complicated problems. I'd guess not many have.

It's the child in the sandbox.
 
Have you always been an isolationist? The Putin's of the world would be happy to see millions more of folks like you.
Yes. My entire life. I’m 50 years old and the only foreign country I’ve ever been in is Canada; when I was a child.

Have no idea why TRUMP picked Chuck as ambassador to France. Ambassadors usually have some kind of connection to the country, so I would assume that's the case with Chuck.
Either way I doubt France would reject the appointment because they know TRUMP would do the same in removing whoever the French ambassador is in the US along with something else in response.
As for what Chuck did with the blackmail, really don't care.

Of course you don’t.

Trump literally COULD shoot someone on Fifth Ave in broad daylight and lose no support

I'm not sure that's really something to brag about. In my experience it makes people narrow minded.

That's become a common theme among trumples. If it can't reasonably be excused claim you don't care. Here's the thing. You, and the rest of the trumples, not caring doesn't make it right. If we don't live up to certain standards, like not nominating a convicted criminal to be an ambassador, or not defaming someone you raped, or not accepting electoral defeat, we invite anarchy.
The problem being that's what trumples want.

Berg, I have to admire your efforts at feeding the Trump-deranged new reasons to cry. Pearls before swine, I’m afraid. TDS needs no facts or new information to sustain itself.

If you were addressing people with Acrophobia, you wouldn’t need to constantly stoke their fear of heights with stories of parachute accidents, plane crashes, bridge collapses, etc. That disorder is real. Just as real as Trump derangement syndrome. Both exist outside of reality.

As far as being upset about Trump pardoning Mr. Kushner, the elder, your side lost forever the ability to play that card, remember?

Chuck served his time.

I think Trump is just incompetent. The issues with so many of his cabinet nominees are reminiscent of his first term. Too lazy to properly vet these people. It's amateur hour all over again.

You are so clueless. We aren’t miserable and hopeless! We have new hope as the country chose the man who can reverse the damaging liberal policies that have been destroying this country for the last four years.

First six items on the agenda are:

1. Release all non-violent Jan 6 trespassers from prison
2. Beef up the border and re-establish wait in Mexico policy
3. Deport all criminal aliens
4..De-weaponize the DOJ and FBI
5. Right-size the government
6. Demand the Islamic terrorists release the surviving hostages and return the bodies of the dead for a proper Jewish funeral

To quote Regan, “it’s morning in America.”
