EU Summit Deadlocked as Poland and Hungary Resist Migration Reform

TL;DR Summary
Poland and Hungary have objected to a new deal aimed at revamping the European Union's rules on the reception and relocation of asylum seekers. The two countries, the only ones to oppose the deal, are demanding changes to ensure future decisions on migration are approved unanimously and that compliance with the new rules is voluntary. The deal, which offers member states three options to address the challenge, has been falsely depicted by the leaders as a "forced" admission of migrants. The issue has caused a deadlock at the EU summit, with discussions set to continue.
