What if Trump's threats push the EU-UK post-Brexit "reset"? Yet the ongoing EU-UK 'reset' negotiations should overcome "the legacy of the bad feeling that has built up over the last ten years," says CER's Ian Bond

What if #Trump became the catalyst for resetting EU-UK relations?
With the US no longer a reliable ally for Europe, Brussels and London should "rebuild bridges that were demolished in 2016," says @cerianbond.bsky.social (@centreeuropeanref.bsky.social)

Since #Brexit, the fishing industry has faced export delays, higher costs and an estimated loss of £80 million–£100 million in EU sales due to new regulatory hurdles. The deal could add £9 billion to the economy by 2040.

The EU represented 48% of UK goods exports, 36% of services exports, and 51% of goods imports in 2024. Fisheries represent roughly 5% of UK agriculture, fisheries and forestry exports, and 0.03% of the UK economy.

At a glance: What's in the UK-EU deal? A new deal setting out post-Brexit relations on areas including fishing rights, trade and defence has been reached.

Too bloody right & about bloody time! I would've gone much further, but I can see why the Govt didn't - because they're too afraid of losing votes to people who would rather go back to British Empire, stirred up by brood of vipers in Reform and Tories. #UKEUSummit

Opening remarks by Costa and von der Leyen: "It's an amazing comprehensive roadmap that we have, looking at security and defence together, but also looking at the whole economic cooperation that we have and most importantly, people to people contact." ~AA #UKEUSummit

Opening remarks by PM Starmer: "Moving on from stale old debates, looking forward, not backwards, focusing on what we can do together to deliver in the national interest. That is what today is all about. We are agreeing a new strategic partnership fit for our times." ~AA #UKEUSummit

The #UKEUSummit begins today in London, with the PM hosting top EU officials as part of efforts to ‘reset’ the UK-EU relationship.

Ahead of today, Energy UK has been advocating for a relationship that protects the energy security of our deeply interconnected energy systems.
