LONDON (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday urged Britain to stick close to its neighbors despite its exit from the European Union, saying France and the U.K. will “save Europe” by standing for democracy, law and international order in a dangerous world.

Emmanuel Macron has blamed Brexiteers for the small boats crisis as he agreed a “grondbreaking” migrant returns deal with Keir Starmer in a bid to solve the issue. The French president said British voters had been misled before the EU referendum in 2016.
