British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and France’s President Emmanuel Macron on Nov. 7 discussed an agreement to reduce the armada of small boats bringing illegal immigrants across the English Channel to the UK during a meeting on the sidelines of the COP27 climate summit in Egypt.

“By working together with our European partners, we can make a difference, grip this challenge of illegal migration and stop people coming illegally,” Sunak said afterward.
