Nearly Five Million People Sign Open Letter Against Trump's Migrant Policy
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The statement was made ahead of an informal EU summit in Malta, where measures to curb migration from Libya was expected to dominate the agenda. Prior to the summit's start the leaders talked about Trump and his commitment to the partnership with the bloc.

"Today we have pretty mixed feelings, honestly speaking. Because the last steps we have seen, the tangible aspects of Mr. Trump’s politics are raising some concerns," Kern said. "It could be a catalyst for a stronger Europe, for a more united Europe. And I think it’s like an alarm call. It makes sense to discuss intensively if we are on a right track."

Among Trump’s recent declarations to be touched upon by the EU leaders on the summit are the new US president's support for the UK intention to leave the European Union, as well as his entry ban on refugees and people from several Muslim-majority countries.
