US quits migrant talks

UNITED NATIONS. — The United States has quit negotiations on a voluntary pact to deal with migration because the global approach to the issue was “simply not compatible with US sovereignty”, said US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

In a statement released late on Saturday, the US mission to the UN noted that President Donald Trump made the decision.

“No country has done more than the United States, and our generosity will continue,” said Haley, whose parents are immigrants from India. “But our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone.” — Reuters.
