UK and EU Announce New Trade and Defense Deals in Effort to Revive Relations After Brexit
ai generated text
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting a summit with European Union leaders to reset relations between the two sides. The meeting aims to lay the groundwork for a new partnership, including agreements on defense, migration, work, and travel. The UK and EU have agreed on several key deals, including a security and defense pact, a new fishing deal, and a deal on food trade and border checks. The agreements are expected to boost the British economy by nearly £9 billion by 2040 and support thousands of British jobs. The UK will also participate in the EU's proposed €150 billion (approximately £129 billion) Security Action for Europe (SAFE) fund.
We've got a real chance to turn the page and write a new chapter in our relationship.
This joint procurement will increase our readiness, will close military gaps that we have.
This will allow the next generation to once again live and study in each other's countries. This will build friendships that will last a lifetime.
That means more certainty, more stability for farmers and food producers, and fishermen and fisherwoman, on both sides of the Channel.
At a time of increasing global uncertainty and volatility, this will formalise UK-EU co-operation on defence to ensure Europe's safety and security.
We're becoming a rule-taker from Brussels once again.
This is about making people better off, about making the country more secure, about making sure there are more jobs in the UK .
Historic day ... Britain back on the world stage.
We know we've had lorries waiting for 16 hours, fresh food in the back not able to be exported, because frankly it's just going off, red tape, all the certifications that are required, we absolutely want to reduce that.
Today is a historic day, marking the opening of a new chapter in our relationship with the EU that delivers for working people across the UK… Our new UK-EU Strategic Partnership achieves all three objectives. It delivers on jobs, bills and borders.
Tomorrow, we take another step forwards, with yet more benefits for the United Kingdom as the result of a strengthened partnership with the European Union.
It's time to look forward. To move on from the stale old debates and political fights to find common sense, practical solutions which get the best for the British people.
After the 21% drop in exports and 7% drop in imports seen since Brexit, the UK will also be able to sell various products, such as burgers and sausages, back into the EU again, supporting these vital British industries.
We're ready to work with partners if it means we can improve people's lives here at home. So that's what this deal is all about – facing out into the world once again, in the great tradition of this nation.
