British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed on the need for a “new deterrent” to stop refugee and migrant crossings across the English Channel.
“The leaders agreed tackling the threat of irregular migration and small boat crossings is a shared priority that requires shared solutions,” a British readout of Wednesday’s meeting at 10 Downing Street said. “The two leaders agreed on the need to go further and make progress on new and innovative solutions, including a new deterrent to break the business model of these gangs.”
