Britain and Germany Agree on Ambitious Treaty to Reset EU Relations

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz agreed to work on an ambitious treaty covering defense, trade, science, technology, business, and culture. This treaty aims to reset Britain's relations with the EU, without reversing Brexit. The cooperation treaty is expected to be signed early next year.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have committed to crafting an 'ambitious' treaty that spans defense, trade, and cultural cooperation, aimed at recalibrating Britain's strained rapport with the European Union.

Starmer, who recently took office, emphasized that fostering closer ties with European nations is vital for Britain's economic resurgence. He underscored the treaty's potential to deepen collaboration in science, technology, and business, framing it as a 'once-in-a-generation' opportunity.

Despite this renewed partnership, Starmer clarified that the reset does not mean reversing Brexit. With a joint declaration already in place, both leaders aim to finalize the treaty by early next year, signaling a significant shift in Britain's post-Brexit foreign policy.
