UK's last EU commissioner sees improving relations with EU five years after Brexit

Julian King, the UK’s last EU commissioner, notes that relations between the UK and EU are improving five years after Brexit. He observes a shift towards a more positive tone and increased contact between both sides. The UK government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is exploring new agreements on defense, migration, and trade. In May, Starmer will host a summit with EU leaders to discuss these potential deals. King emphasizes that previous Brexit agreements should be viewed as a starting point, not the final word. He highlights the need to address new challenges, particularly in security and defense, as both sides seek to strengthen ties.
