Starmer is trying to accept a return agreement for asylum seekers before a binary summit on Thursday.
Such an agreement will help the Prime Minister promise to stop the flow of tens of thousands of people from all over the channel.
France rejected a return agreement for asylum seekers in the past, saying that Britain should negotiate as a whole with the European Union.
In accordance with Starmer’s plan, Britain would deport the seeker of an asylum seeker with a legitimate case in exchange for someone else.
