UK Prime Minister Pledges £84M to Address Migration Crisis

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of the UK has called for Europe's leaders to address the illegal migration crisis at the European Political Community (EPC) summit, seeking to 'reset' relations with the continent post-Brexit. He pledged £84 million in foreign aid to combat irregular migration and proposed practical solutions, emphasizing the need to tackle root causes like conflict, climate change, and poverty. The funding will support education, employment, and humanitarian efforts in Africa and the Middle East to dissuade migration. Starmer aims to deepen cooperation with Europe on defense, border security, and dismantling smuggling gangs, highlighting the importance of addressing migration challenges upstream.
