British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host EU leaders at a London summit on defense and trade agreements aimed at rejuvenating UK-EU relations. This meeting marks an effort to establish regular annual summits, promoting formal cooperation post-Brexit. Key discussions will involve a common understanding on trade, fishing rights, and youth mobility while addressing ongoing challenges like Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Current sticking points include fishing agreements that permit EU access to British waters for 12 years and unresolved terms surrounding youth mobility, indicating that negotiations continue to evolve for improved collaboration.
Since taking office in July 2024, Starmer has pushed for what he calls a "reset" of ties with the EU, aiming for annual summits for deeper integration.
Fishing rights and youth mobility have been ongoing sticking points in negotiations, with tentative agreements still subject to further discussions between EU and UK diplomats.
