UK, France extend migrants deal for two months
LONDON: Britain and France agreed Tuesday to extend for two months a migration deal just hours before it was set to expire in order to complete tough negotiations, UK officials said. Under a 2018 accord Britain agreed to finance actions taken in France to bolster the borders and stop migrants leaving for the UK. The deal was prolonged for three years in March 2023, when London agreed to pay Paris £476 million (around $570 million) over three years to crack down on migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. It was due to expire at midnight Tuesday.
