Keir Starmer attends EU leaders' defense meeting in Brussels as first UK PM post-Brexit

Keir Starmer is in Brussels on February 3, becoming the first UK prime minister to attend an EU leaders' meeting since Brexit. He aims to focus on security and defense, urging increased support for Ukraine. Starmer will call on EU leaders to boost defense spending and maintain sanctions against Russia. His discussions come amid rising tensions over potential trade tariffs from the U.S., as President Trump threatens to impose them on the EU. Trump criticized the EU's trade practices and indicated that tariffs could be implemented soon. He has already announced trade taxes on Canada, Mexico, and China.
