<\/p>\n\u201cThe EU summit will have a tough dialogue on migration,\u201d AFP reported 17 as the topic, the EU leaders held a summit in Brussels the same day to discuss tightening immigration policy. Immigration is still\u201cSeen as a pressing domestic issue\u201d by many EU member states, a senior EU diplomat said. The far-right political party, which often plays on anti-immigrant sentiment, performed strongly in the European Parliament elections in June and came top in recent national and regional polls in the Netherlands, Austria and Germany, AFP said, the EU summit\u201cWill turn the EU’s immigration policy right into concrete\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Franco-german engine is pushing for action,\u201d said a senior European diplomat, adding that zero EU countries, including France and Germany, had recently signed a proposal to facilitate the expulsion of illegal immigrants. AFP said some countries hope to implement as soon as possible this year’s landmark immigration agreement, which strengthens border procedures, and require countries to receive asylum seeker or provide funds and resources from \u201cFront-line\u201d countries. But some countries believe these plans are\u201cFar from enough\u201d.<\/p>\n
In a letter to the EU earlier this week, European Commission President Christian von der Leyen reportedly mentioned the controversial idea of setting up\u201cDeportation centres\u201d outside the EU. But an EU diplomat said the idea was\u201cVague and preliminary\u201d and that there were no real plans at this stage, adding that no\u201cMajor decisions\u201d on immigration were expected at the summit.<\/p>\n
The debate over the European Convention on immigration and asylum (the convention) , which was passed six months ago to strengthen the control of illegal immigration at Europe’s borders, has not yet ended, German television channel one said Monday, the 27 EU heads of state and government are in Brussels right now seeking common ground on immigration. Against the backdrop of rising refugee numbers and the rise of rightwing populist parties, many governments have called for tougher measures than the convention, while others have no intention of complying with it at all.<\/p>\n
Reported that Poland wants to suspend the right of asylum for refugees, the Netherlands has asked for a complete withdrawal from the convention. Germany expanded border controls and put pressure on Italy and Greece to take back refugees who had entered the two countries before heading to Germany. The Austrian tabloid newspaper said the European Union’s response to the split over immigration policy was the same as always: Chaos.<\/p>\n
Biden, the US President, is on a one-day visit to Germany ahead of the EU summit. Western support for Ukraine will be high on the agenda of talks between Mr Biden and German Chancellor Scholtz and other NATO leaders, AFP reported. The move came after Biden postponed a four-way meeting in Germany with Scholtz, French President Maqueron and British Prime Minister Stamer as Hurricane Milton hit Florida. AFP said the outgoing US leader would leave on the evening of November 17 for a\u201cFarewell trip\u201d to Germany because he had not visited the country during his term in office.<\/p>\n
The Associated Press reported that Scholz said in Parliament on the 16th, Biden has been a good friend of Germany, \u201cWe face a major crisis and challenges, there are many things to discuss between the two sides.\u201d. Pierre, the White House press secretary, said on the same day that Biden and Scholtz would \u201cFurther strengthen our close ties\u201d and \u201cCoordinate our geopolitical priorities\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to the Associated Press, Biden’s trip was more than just a social visit. With less than three weeks to go before the American presidential election, Biden felt obliged to prepare his allies, for the possible return of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to the White House. Earlier, Donald Trump angered American allies by expressing admiration for Russian President Putin.<\/p>\n
Relations between Washington and Berlin were strained during the Donald Trump administration, with Donald Trump accusing the Germans and others of spending too little on NATO’s common defence, AFP said. Some NATO members fear that Donald Trump’s return to the White House could undermine US commitment to European security and end aid to Ukraine. Biden will use the German Bertelsmann to send a signal in the run-up to the US presidential election, said Schwarzer, an expert on German foreign relations, \u201cIt is very important that Europe is prepared to take on more responsibility for supporting Ukraine.\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
