    Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It’s null and void.

      It doesn’t matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.

      If you transfer debts and loans they’re still valid, it’s what the ussr Russia exchange did.

            You do realize that I was using the argument that the US gov’t used before Swan paid it off privately, right? It may be a joke, but I do know that much of early American history.
