Reform promises tariffs on countries that won’t take back migrants
The plan would bar visas, airlines and transit routes for six countries and add tariffs to pressure governments into accepting deportees.
- Reform leader Farage will unveil an expanded deportation plan imposing strict visa bans and new tariffs on Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia unless they accept deported migrants from Britain.
- This strategy aims to force compliance from nations refusing to accept deportees, mirroring economic tactics used by Donald Trump, as Reform figures believe tariffs offer leverage where visa bans prove less effective.
- Reform's extension of airline bans would prevent Pakistan International Airlines from flying to Britain, forcing British-Pakistani families to rely on alternative carriers with stopovers for travel.
- Britain previously utilized The World Trade Organisation's exemption for an "emergency in international relations" in 2022 to hike tariffs on Russia and Belarus, providing potential legal cover for these measures.
- These proposals emerge as Reform faces falling support amid funding controversy and Labour's rising approval under Andy Burnham, while net migration is forecast to drop below 100,000 this year.
