UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned that the number of asylum seekers could 'overwhelm' Europe if global refugee laws are not revised. He is set to discuss the issue with Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama in Rome. The UK has been criticized for its low deportation rate, with only 1% of illegal migrants and 95% of Albanians deported since 2020. Meanwhile, protests have broken out in Albania over Italy's plan to send 36,000 migrants there.
