The Prime Minister will open negotiations with the EU's largest member in Berlin
Sir Keir Starmer meeting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for a bilateral meeting at the Nato summit in Washington DC in July will lay the ground work for softening Brexit by opening talks with the EU’s largest member over a new defence and trade pact.
During his meeting with Chancellor Scholz on Wednesday morning, he is expected to tell the German leader that he wants the UK to move beyond Brexit by rebuilding relations with European partners. The treaty is expected to cover areas including market access, science, innovation and tech, clean energy, trade across the North Sea, supply chain resilience, energy security and “green transition education”, biodiversity and the environment.
The trip will kick off a diplomatic blitz for Starmer, with the Prime Minister going on from Berlin to Paris for the Paralympics Opening Ceremony on Wednesday night, before meeting President Emmanuel Macron and French business leaders on Thursday.
