Macron, Starmer Agree ‘New Deterrent’ Needed Against Illegal Migrants, UK Says

On July 9, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted French President Emmanuel Macron at 10 Downing Street in preparation for a comprehensive UK-France summit scheduled for July 10 in London.
The leaders met to address rising illegal migration across the English Channel and seek new, innovative solutions including a ‘one in, one out’ migrant returns deal.
Starmer stressed tougher UK enforcement including arrests of undocumented workers while Macron emphasized addressing migration pull factors and pledged greater cooperation.
Over 21,000 individuals have made the journey from northern France to the southeastern coast of England this year, underscoring the critical need for collaborative efforts to dismantle the trafficking networks responsible.
The leaders agreed to deepen defence cooperation, support Ukraine, and aim for concrete progress at the Thursday summit, though a returns deal may remain unresolved.
