UK May Ditch US Trade Deal in Favor of EU — Reports

The new partnership with the EU could be concluded in May at a summit between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, European leaders and other UK ministers, the newspaper said on Tuesday.

Leading Brexiteers warned Starmer on Tuesday night that the "dynamic alignment" with the EU on food and veterinary products, which would enable free trade without border checks on those goods, could put a trade deal with the White House at risk, The Telegraph said.

The Financial Times newspaper reported on Monday that the EU was planning to sign a defense and security pact with the UK next month amid US President Donald Trump’s threats to cut down NATO allies' defense supply.
