Keir Starmer to hold talks with Irish taoiseach before European summit
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet with Irish taoiseach Simon Harris at Chequers before the European Political Community (EPC) summit in the UK. The summit will focus on discussions about Europe's future defense, migration, democracy, and energy security.
It will be attended by EU leaders, non-EU members, and potentially Donald Trump. Key topics include the migration crisis, defense, and democracy.
Starmer aims to repair strained UK-Ireland relations caused by Brexit policies and concerns raised by former Irish PM Leo Varadkar. At the summit, Starmer will prioritize border security and immigration, seeking to establish a new asylum system and combat people-smuggling.
He will have bilateral meetings with Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Edi Rama, Simon Harris, and other leaders. The summit marks Starmer's debut on the international political scene as he seeks to rebuild closer ties between the UK and the EU, four years after Brexit.
The leaders will also address the war in Ukraine, the potential impact of a Trump presidency on NATO, and pressing issues of security, migration, and trade.
