“The health care agreement between Ghana and France is the same as the health care agreement that Ghana refused to sign with the United States.”
Evidence shows the U.S. proposal and the France–Ghana compact differ in funder, conditions, data-sharing obligations, and legal structure; no credible source shows identical wording or requirements. Ghana rejected the U.S. deal over invasive data-access clauses but accepted the French agreement precisely because those clauses were absent. Asserting the two agreements are the same misrepresents their substance.
“Non-European Union citizens are allowed to vote and stand as candidates in elections in France as of April 16, 2026.”
French law does not permit non-EU citizens to vote or stand as candidates in any election. While a constitutional bill to extend municipal voting rights to non-EU residents advanced through committee in early 2026, it was never enacted—requiring either a three-fifths congressional supermajority or a national referendum, neither of which occurred. The March 2026 municipal elections explicitly excluded non-EU citizens, and official French government sources confirm voting remains restricted to French nationals and EU citizens.
