UK's Starmer, Germany's Scholz seek reset in British-EU ties with comprehensive treaty

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Wednesday in Berlin that a new comprehensive treaty between the two countries would form part of wider post-Brexit efforts to reset UK-EU relations. The UK and Germany, NATO allies and western Europe's biggest defence spenders, are searching for ways to further cement defence cooperation ahead of a possible scale down of US military support for Ukraine in the event that former US president Donald Trump is elected in November.
