MINISTER SEEKS MIGRATION TALKS WITH U.K.

France is prepared to talk to Britain about migration if it is ready for serious discussions, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Monday, as he urged the U.K. to “limit” its economic attractiveness to migrants.

Darmanin also said Prime Minister Jean Castex will write to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday to detail French demands.

“The French government is prepared to resume talks with British authorities if there is no longer double speak,” Darmanin said.

The two countries — already at loggerheads over post-brexit arrangements — have accused each other of not doing enough to manage migration after 27 people died on Wednesday trying to cross the English Channel.

Amid a growing rift, France cancelled an invitation to British Interior Minister Priti Patel to attend a meeting Sunday with European counterparts to discuss the situation.
