As the UK prepares for a reset in relations with the EU in 2025, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been invited to an informal summit focusing on security and defense cooperation. The backdrop includes global unrest and uncertainty around former President Donald Trump’s potential return to power.

Key discussions may involve youth mobility, fishing rights, and economic cooperation as both sides navigate a complex relationship.
