The UK and the EU announce new deals and renew ties, 5 years after Brexit
- On Monday 2025-05-19, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host a landmark summit in London with top EU officials to reset post-Brexit ties.
- This meeting follows years of tensions after the UK's 2020 exit amid disputes on defence, fishing, and trade barriers, prompting the need for closer cooperation.
- Negotiators aim to finalize a security and defence partnership granting UK access to EU defence projects, ease food export red tape by aligning agricultural standards, and discuss youth mobility and fishing rights.
- Starmer said the deal would be “good for our jobs, bills, and borders” while EU diplomats noted “real willingness” from the UK to improve economic ties despite remaining difficult details.
- If successful, the summit will mark a symbolic shift toward strengthened UK-EU partnership but may face challenges over fishing, free movement, and political criticism.
