EU leaders attending a summit with their African counterparts on Thursday approved a 1.8-billion-euro trust fund for Africa aimed at tackling the root causes of mass migration to Europeת AFP reports.
"For the Africa Trust Fund and our response to be credible, I want to see more member states contributing and matching the 1.8 billion euros the EU has put forward," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said as EU leaders signed the deal in Malta.
