UK hopes France will reconsider canceling meeting on migrant channel crossing

London, Nov 26 (UNI/Sputnik) UK Transport Minister Grant Shapps said on Friday he hopes France will “reconsider” its decision to uninvite Home Secretary Priti Patel to Sunday’s meeting with Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the EU commission to address the current migrant crisis in the English Channel.
According to reports, the French government decided to uninvite Patel in response to an open letter from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday evening calling on France to take back people who crossed the English Channel on small boats.
“Quite simply, no nation can tackle this alone, so I hope that the French will reconsider. It’s in our interest and in their interest,” Shapps told BBC Breakfast news show.
