  • London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan is to tell EU diplomats "Brexit was a mistake" and argue stronger ties with the bloc would help fight Donald Trump's tariff threats. He will say the UK's withdrawal from the EU "continues to have a negative impact" and will promise to make the case for "being bold" to seek closer alignment.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is set to address EU ambassadors in Brussels, where he will argue that Brexit was a mistake and push for stronger ties between the UK and the EU. Khan will emphasize the need for closer collaboration to address global challenges like climate change and to mitigate the economic impacts of potential US tariffs under a second Trump presidency. He plans to highlight the mutual benefits of cooperation, particularly in areas like trade, security, and environmental policy, and will call for a more integrated approach to ensure London and the UK remain influential on the global stage despite Brexit.
