The draft U.K.-EU agreement is one of several being drawn up ahead of a May 19 summit.

Britain and the European Union are set to sign a formal declaration committing to “free and open trade” in defiance of Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.

A leaked draft seen by POLITICO promises a “new strategic partnership” between London and Brussels based on “maintaining global economic stability and our mutual commitment to free and open trade.”

It comes as Keir Starmer’s U.K. government is locked in negotiations with the Trump administration to try to get a carve-out from the U.S. president’s new tariffs.

    It’s nice to see the UK and EU getting so integrated. I’m not an expert, so I’m wondering if this could be the closest their partnership has been in recent years.
