The draft U.K.-EU agreement is one of several being drawn up ahead of a May 19 summit.
Britain and the European Union are set to sign a formal declaration committing to “free and open trade” in defiance of Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.
A leaked draft seen by POLITICO promises a “new strategic partnership” between London and Brussels based on “maintaining global economic stability and our mutual commitment to free and open trade.”
It comes as Keir Starmer’s U.K. government is locked in negotiations with the Trump administration to try to get a carve-out from the U.S. president’s new tariffs.

People have moved closer to the middle from both sides, but the average has moved to it being bad.
they’re ready for brre-entry now
Whilst we’re still fighting those that caused Brexit I think we need to be careful of introducing instability with “in again / out again” policy swings. I think we’re best aiming at something which removes barriers but doesn’t stir up the anti EU sentiment that still exists.
Alignment, deals, treaties, but not membership.
