The U.S. government refuted claims made by the French administration regarding the denial of entry for a French scientist to the U.S. A spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security clarified that the scientist was barred from entry not due to his political beliefs about the Trump administration but because he was in possession of unauthorized confidential information from Los Alamos National Laboratory. This incident has raised concerns in France regarding academic freedom and the implications of political beliefs affecting scientific collaboration.
U.S. official Tricia McLaughlin asserted that a French scientist was denied entry to the U.S. for violating a nondisclosure agreement, not for political beliefs.
The French government insists the scientist's removal was a violation of academic freedom due to his critiques of the Trump administration.
