European Union leaders convened a summit in Brussels to discuss measures aimed at making the bloc less attractive to migrants and asylum seekers, following a rise in far-right support. The proposed initiatives include expediting deportations and processing asylum applications outside EU borders. Despite these plans, deep divisions among member states regarding handling irregular migration and burden-sharing may hinder decisive actions.
