Nigel Farage vows tariffs and visa bans on nations that refuse UK deportees
Reform Party plans punitive trade and travel measures against countries that reject returning illegal migrants to the UK.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party, announced that the party will introduce tariffs, airline bans and visa freezes on nations that refuse to accept illegal migrants sent back from the United Kingdom. The proposal, first reported by The Sunday Times, targets countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia, which have high numbers of UK visas issued. Farage said he would not tolerate states that "won't take back illegal migrants" and pledged to "impose tariffs, airline bans and visa bans on any country that refuses".
Reform also intends to strike deals with third‑party states to deport "extreme cases" where no country is willing to receive migrants, and to review all refugee status grants made in the five years before a Reform government takes office. Details of the plan are expected later this week.
