France pulls out of Channel migrant deal over Truss ‘friend or foe’ comments

  1. Lol this woman might be the worst prime minister UK ever had. You might not like the arrogance and behavioral problems of Boris but at least he had some intelligence and leadership abilities.

  2. This is confusing. So, from the article

    `France has reportedly pulled out of a deal to try and stop Channel migrant crossings, after comments made by Liz Truss on Emmanuel Macron.`

    and

    `A government spokesperson said: “Our work with the French to prevent the unacceptable rise in dangerous Channel crossings is ongoing.”`

    so that could mean-

    a) that France has pulled out, but the UK is still engaged

    b) both countries are still engaged and talks are ongoing

    Also,

    `French government sources told the Daily Mail that the comments led to a “tirade” from Macron’s team and that a deal to try and stop migrant crossings was ditched because of it.`

    `A deal was said to be very close to completion, with a press release already drawn up to announce it.`

    It will be interesting to see what the press release is now, whether the deal is cancelled.

  3. (Turkey mobilizes a few thousands of asylum seekers – out of 3.7M – towards the Greek border when EU does hostile statements, threatens to withdraw from the migrant deal)
