UK SECURITY DEAL?
As doubts swirl over the transatlantic relationship, many are eager to step up ties with an previous good friend: Britain.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer shall be again within the fold – at the least for one dinner – as the primary UK chief to attend a European Council gathering because the nation withdrew from the EU 5 years in the past.
Starmer stated he needed to work with EU leaders to “crush Putin’s conflict machine” by additional focusing on Russia’s financial system.
The British chief, who has sought to reset relations after the rancour of Brexit, stated he needed to strike a “bold” safety partnership with the EU.
That would carry Britain, with its potent army and huge defence trade, a little bit nearer.
“We won’t be commentators relating to issues of peace on our continent,” Starmer stated.
However the bitter legacy of Brexit stays.
Quite a few EU diplomats stated there can’t be progress till a dispute over fishing rights is resolved and London drops its opposition to a youth mobility scheme proposed by Brussels.
