Brexit Talks: UK and EU Seek Closer Ties | JQJO

Renewed Brexit talks between the UK and EU are focusing on improving security cooperation and easing trade barriers. Driven by geopolitical shifts and the need for closer defense ties following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, both sides are aiming for a revised post-Brexit agreement. While the UK government assures no return to the EU's customs union, single market, or freedom of movement, discussions involve trade, veterinary agreements, and easier travel for artists and professionals. The EU prioritizes a youth mobility scheme, which the UK is cautiously acknowledging. A final agreement is anticipated soon, with the Prime Minister expected to meet with Ursula von der Leyen on Monday.
