  • Starmer rejects choice between EU and US allies in major speech - The Prime Minister's speech came as Donald Trump announced Warren Stephens as his pick for the USA's next ambassador to the United Kingdom.

In a significant speech, Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, has firmly rejected the notion that the UK must choose between aligning with the European Union or maintaining strong ties with the United States. Speaking at the Canada-EU Summit in St John's, Newfoundland, Starmer emphasized the importance of fostering relationships with both regions, arguing that the UK's future lies in building bridges rather than erecting barriers. He highlighted the need for a pragmatic approach to foreign policy, focusing on cooperation in areas like security, trade, and climate change. Starmer's speech comes at a time when the UK is navigating its post-Brexit identity, seeking to redefine its global role while ensuring economic stability and security through international partnerships.
