Keir Starmer emphasizes the necessity for a robust security partnership between the UK and EU, aiming to enhance NATO's capabilities. Speaking before a significant meeting with EU leaders, he stated that such a partnership should include military technology, research, and improved mobility of forces, along with fostering industrial collaboration. Starmer asserted that the UK need not sacrifice its relationship with the EU for the sake of the US, reinforcing that historical ties with both are essential. His statements reflect a strategic approach to international relations in a post-Brexit context.
We can't be commentators when it comes to matters of peace on our continent, he told reporters. We must lead and that's what I've determined that we will do.
Both of these relations are very important to us. We are not choosing between them, but that's historically been the position of the UK for many, many decades.
Starmer said he wanted an ambitious UK-EU security partnership to bolster Nato... It should cover military technology, research and development, improved mobility of forces across Europe.
I think what's really important is open and strong trading relations and that's been the basis of my discussions with President Trump.
