The first summit between the UK and the EU in years is set to reset their post-Brexit relationship. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are expected to emphasize cooperation on defense, security, and trade. The meeting marks a shift from past tensions, with both sides seeking closer ties amid global uncertainties.
Key topics include a defense pact, youth mobility schemes, and reducing trade barriers. The UK, now led by a pro-EU Labour majority, is open to collaboration, though sensitive issues like fisheries remain unresolved.
