U.K. to face $260 billion slave trade bill
The king of the UK will face a $260 billion bill for compensation for Britain's role in the slave trade. The king will attend a Commonwealth leaders' summit. The annual meeting brings together 56 former colonies of the British Empire. Fifteen nations will ask for slave trade reparations at the summit. Barbados said the UK should pay the price for its past. A UN judge said the price for damage done by Britain during the slave trade was $25 trillion. |
