UK PM eyes EU ‘prize’ as leaders meet ahead of crunch summit
Polls showed most Britons regretted leaving the EU, but even the ruling Labour Party remained divided over how close Andy Burnham should seek to get.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to engage with European leaders in Dublin as both sides finalize a reset deal ahead of a crucial summit. The European Political Community (EPC) meeting, under Ireland's largest security operation ever due to hybrid attack concerns, will center on Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived late Wednesday to meet European leaders alongside US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who will travel to Moscow after Abu Dhabi talks.
The summit in Belgium aims to deliver three main agreements, potentially aiding Burnham's goal of lowering living costs in the UK. This could include easing red tape for food exports, aligning emissions-trading schemes, and a youth experience scheme. Burnham may also explore the possibility of the UK rejoining the EU, which left after the 2016 Brexit referendum.
