British Prime Minister wants to discuss slavery apologies but rules out reparations

British Prime Minister Burnham is open to discussing apologies for slavery but opposes reparations. He emphasizes the need for a sincere dialogue about the legacy of slavery within the Commonwealth, acknowledging its ongoing impact. While he supports addressing the call for state apologies, he believes current generations should not be held accountable for historical wrongs. Burnham also aims to explore solutions for the debts faced by many Commonwealth nations. His remarks come during King Charles's tour of the Caribbean, where discussions on slavery are prominent. Barbados's Prime Minister Mottley welcomes dialogue but maintains the demand for reparations.
