France’s hardline interior minister on Friday warned Britain that London can no longer sub-contract Channel border security out to Paris, with no end in sight to the flows of migrants heading across the waterway.

“The relationship between France and the United Kingdom can no longer be reduced to sub-contracting out to France” security on the Channel border, said right-wing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau. He added that “there is a showdown to be had” on border security between the two countries in the wake of Brexit.
