TL;DR Summary

Tunisian President Kais Saied has rejected financial support from the European Union, stating that the amount is small and conflicts with a deal signed three months ago. This move could undermine the "strategic partnership" between Tunisia and the EU, which includes measures to combat human trafficking and tighten borders. The dispute comes as Tunisia faces a migration crisis and struggles with its economy, raising concerns about potential default on foreign debts. Some European countries, including Germany, oppose the immigration deal, citing human rights issues and the political situation in Tunisia after Saied seized power.
