Washington, DC—On May 1, 2015, Ambassador David O’Sullivan, serving as the Ambassador of the European Union to the United States, discussed with WFPG members and guests the ongoing migration crisis. As refugees from war-torn nations such as Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Syria attempt to reach safer shores, the European Union, a community of sovereign countries, faces the challenge of finding a sustainable solution.
