France's Hollande says Brexit won't change Channel migrant deal

Brussels: French President Francois Hollande said Wednesday that Britain’s vote to leave the EU should not change a deal to stop migrants crossing the Channel, which led to many being stuck at camps in Calais.

“Calling into question the Touquet deal on the pretext that Britain has voted for Brexit and will have to start negotiations to leave the union doesn’t make sense,” Hollande said after a summit in Brussels.
