Britain poised to reset trade and defence ties with EU

Britain is poised to agree the most significant reset of ties with the European Union since Brexit on Monday, seeking closer collaboration on trade and defence to help grow the economy and boost security on the continent.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who backed remaining in the EU, has made a bet that securing tangible benefits for Britons will outweigh any talk of "Brexit betrayal" from critics like Reform UK leader Nigel Farage when he agrees closer EU alignment at a summit in London.
