Ammon News - Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer is set to announce a new deal with the EU in the coming week as he hosts a major summit with the bloc in London.

Details of the agreement are yet to be revealed but reports have suggested it could focus on UK access to a major EU defence fund, with a youth mobility scheme also said to be on the table.

Ahead of Monday’s summit, the Prime Minister said the meeting would be “another step forwards, with yet more benefits for the United Kingdom” and “a strengthened partnership with the European Union”.

He said: “It will be good for our jobs, good for our bills and good for our borders.

“That’s what the British people voted for last year, and it’s what my Government will deliver.”

Monday’s meeting will bring Keir together with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for the second time in four days, after the two met for 30 minutes on the margins of the European Political Community Summit in Albania on Friday. Independent
