Easing trade with the EU and a defence pact would be a much-needed win for Starmer
Sunday, 18 May 2025 This EU-UK summit has for months been openly billed by Sir Keir Starmer's Downing Street as a hugely significant moment for this government.
Britain and the EU have announced a sweeping reset in their post-Brexit relationship, covering trade, defence, and mobility. The deal allows UK participation in a €150B EU defence program, cuts red tape on food exports, simplifies travel, and opens joint military procurement to firms like BAE and...

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has issued a stark warning: Ukraine joining NATO could spark a global war with Russia. Echoing Putin’s recent threats, Orbán says NATO expansion is a direct risk to peace in Europe. Hungary's foreign minister reinforced this stance, calling Ukraine's membership “impossible.” As NATO leaders push for more defense spending to counter Russia, divisions within the alliance deepen. While Europe arms up, Hungary distances itself—fearing the next move could ignite World War 3.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reminded Donald Trump that the EU remains open for a trade deal—but the U.S. President made it clear: China and India come first. Speaking after sealing deals with Beijing and hinting at a "very big" one with India, Trump gave no indication of engaging with Europe anytime soon. The EU, once a top U.S. economic partner, is now seemingly sidelined as Washington pivots eastward. The diplomatic slight leaves Brussels waiting in line—behind two of the world’s biggest emerging powerhouses.
