European officials bristle after autocratic leader dismisses their offer as 'derisory'
, The future of the €785 million (US$828m) 'cash for migrant control' deal between Tunisia and the European Union is in question after President Kaïs Saïed dismissed a €60m payment by Brussels as 'derisory' and 'charity'. This is despite the payment having been formally requested by his finance minister Samir Saïed on 31 August.
