UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visited Brussels for the first time since taking office, emphasizing the need to rebuild trust with the European Union after the Brexit disputes.

He proposed collaboration on defense, security, climate change, and migration to ensure Brexit benefits the UK.

While European leaders agreed on working together for security and defense, trade negotiations remain challenging, with both sides facing demands and trade-offs.

Starmer is committed to reducing immigration and maintaining trade barriers, adding complexity to discussions.

Upcoming EU-UK summits aim to address these points as Brussels highlights the need for the UK to meet existing agreements before exploring new deals.
