Starmer's 'reset' with the EU will focus on 'defence for trade' but an 'EU-hating' president in the White House could cause the PM trouble

European Council President Antonio Costa says there is a "new positive energy" in the EU's relationship with the UK.President Trump says Sir Keir Starmer has been "very nice" and the pair are "getting along very well".

Nigel Farage has accused the EU of trying to "humiliate" Keir Starmer by hosting a dinner with other leaders the Palais d’Egmont. This is the Belgian venue where Edward Heath signed the accession treaty - the document which brought Britain into the EU in January 1972.
