Rwanda Defends U.K. Migration Deal, Weighs Similar Denmark Plan

Rwandan President Paul Kagame defended a controversial plan by the U.K. to send asylum seekers to the East African nation, and said it’s holding talks with Denmark about a similar deal.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the proposal earlier this month. It swiftly drew criticism from human rights groups and opposition political parties as “cruel” and “unworkable, unethical and extortionate.”
