UK and EU Reach Post-Brexit Reset Deal: A New Chapter in Relations

The UK and the EU have reached a significant agreement marking a reset in their relationship since Brexit. The deal, announced at a London summit, focuses on strengthening economic and security ties. Key aspects include easing trade barriers, particularly for British food exports, estimated to boost exports by £9 billion. A defence pact could also grant the UK access to a €150 billion EU defence fund. However, the deal includes extending EU access to British fishing waters for 12 years, drawing criticism from some sectors. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the agreement a "practical, common-sense" approach to overcoming Brexit divisions. The deal signals a move toward more cooperation between the UK and EU, prioritizing mutual economic and security interests.
