Summary

US immigration officers denied entry to a French scientist traveling to Houston after finding phone messages criticizing the Trump administration.

French research minister Philippe Baptiste condemned the decision, stressing the importance of academic freedom.

US authorities reportedly accused the scientist of "hateful and conspiratorial messages" but later dropped charges.

Baptiste has been vocal against Trump and Elon Musk for cutting research funding and invited American scientists to relocate to France.

I had the same hope the last time this clown was president (welp, there goes my US visa). It didn't happen. Maybe this time it'll be different but as long as conservatives have any saying in EU politics I'm very much sceptical.
