Being free from the tentacles of Brussels means we won’t be strangled when the US President imposes tariffs on the EU. Trump essentially wants Britain to buy more goods from the US. A trade deal between the two nations would certainly achieve this and enhance the special relationship between us and the US.

U.S. President Donald Trump said trade tariffs would be imposed on the European Union and U.K., but he signaled that a deal could be worked out with Britain.

Donald Trump’s trade battles complicate Keir Starmer’s aim of a “reset” with the European Union after years of bitterness over Brexit.

Friday marks five years since Britain left the European Union on Jan. 31, 2020. People and businesses are still wrestling with the economic, social and cultural aftershocks.

Sir Keir Starmer is heading to Brussels to join a gathering of European Union leaders – the first time a British prime minister has done so since Brexit. Starmer is heading over the English Channel for talks focused on defence and security co-operation and will also meet Nato secretary general Mark Rutte.

Strengthening Britain's relations with Germany was the focus of a meeting between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday. Scholz met with Starmer at the Chequers country estate outside of London.
