Anglo -French deals

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron revealed a joint immigration deal on Thursday aimed at reducing the flow of migrants via the English channel, which divides France and the United Kingdom. This announcement came at the end of the three -day Macron trip to Britain, which also included high -level discussions on defense and energy.

Under the agreement, the two countries will launch a “one in one,” experimental plan, where Britain will be able to deport migrants to France who illegally praying through the boat, in exchange for accepting an equal number of immigrants from France who may have stronger cases of resort in the United Kingdom. However, it is still unclear when the agreement will be implemented, as it is subject to legal audit by the European Commission and the European Union member states.

Small boat crossings have become a political flash point in Britain, which recently witnessed an increase in the popularity of the far -right reform party in the United Kingdom during the local elections. In 2024, about 37,000 people crossed the UK in small boats via the English channel, and the expatriates increased in the first half of 2025.

“There is no silver bullet here, but with a unified effort, new tactics and a new level of intentions, we can finally turn the tables,” Starmer told reporters. However, the deal has attracted criticism from the opposition Conservative Party, which he described as “an ineffective and ineffective way”, as well as from relief groups, which it says ignore the radical causes of migration. “This is skeptical that this is the answer.”

Macron signed and also continues new defensive cooperation agreements in response to what Macron described as a “more threatening environment” in Europe in the fourth year of the Russian war against Ukraine. Among these agreements is a pledge to coordinate the use of nuclear lanes of the two countries in the event of a serious attack on the continent, the commitment to increased cooperation in the field of bilateral nuclear research, and an agreement to develop a new rugged missile and anti -advanced weapons.

The agreements indicate a new chapter of Anglo-French cooperation after Britain’s exit from the European Union, and it comes at a time when the United States-President Donald Trump-Europe pushed more effort to bear the burden of defending the continent. In a speech to British lawmakers on Tuesday, Macron called London and Paris to defend the international regime. He said: “The United Kingdom and France must once again show the world that our alliance can make a big difference.”

Trade War. Trade tensions between the United States and Brazil escalated this week after Trump announced plans to ship a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian goods that start on August 1. It is not only Brazil that may face more stringent measures; Trump sent a set of messages to other world leaders this week with new tariff levels, although none of others does not reach 50 percent.

The tariff seems to be at least partially driven by Trump’s support for former Brazilian President Gere Bolsonaro, Trump’s long ally, who has been being tried in Brazil for a coup attempt. Trump cited the trial of Bolsonaro in his introductory announcement, describing it as “a charming chase that must end immediately!”

Brazilian President Louise Inosio Lula Da Silva pledged to respond to the measures and said in a statement about X that his judicial procedures “are not subject to any interference or threats that could expose the independence of national institutions.” He added: “Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of guardianship.”

“Frank conversation.” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Malaysia on Thursday, on the sidelines of the Foreign Ministers Conference of the Association of Southeast Asian countries. After that, Rubio said that he used the meeting with Lavrov – who called it a “explicit conversation” – to Our voice is frustrated With peace talks parked in the war of Russia, Ukraine.

Rubio told reporters after that. “He was disappointed and frustrated because there was no more flexibility on the Russian side to end this conflict.”

Russia launched hundreds of drones in Ukraine on Wednesday in an attack that Ukrainian officials said on a record scale, a few days after Trump’s promise to resume the delivery of weapons to Ukraine. The White House had previously said that the Pentagon would stop some of these shipments in the announcement of the shock of Kiev, the European Ukraine allies, and some Republican lawmakers.
