London and Brussels agree to remove selected post-Brexit barriers as Trump’s global disruptions drive return to closer ties.
The UK and EU are finalizing agreements to enhance military and trade relations, addressing disruptions caused by Brexit and shifting global dynamics influenced by Donald Trump’s administration. New deals include defence cooperation, reduced border checks, and a fishing accord allowing EU vessels access to UK waters for 12 years. Despite political opposition labeling the summit a “surrender,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer aims for practical solutions to boost trade and jobs while fostering stronger ties with both the EU and other global partners.
