A controversial new agreement allowing the transfer of deportees marks another chapter in a pattern of lopsided deals between two nations, raising fresh concerns over sovereignty and fairness. Critics argue the arrangement follows a troubling precedent of one-sided negotiations, where one country’s demands consistently override the other’s interests. With no public details on safeguards or reciprocal obligations, questions linger over whether this latest pact will deepen existing imbalances—or force a reckoning with past compromises. The move underscores broader tensions in a relationship built on repeated concessions from one side.


Its deal to take deportees is the latest in a long history of unequal agreements with the US.
