EU to host Britain for summit on Nov. 20
Leaders will discuss trade, energy and security ties as well as a food-and-drink deal, with talks also set on youth mobility and emissions trading.
- On Monday, European Council President Antonio Costa, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced an EU-UK summit scheduled for Nov. 20 in Brussels to strengthen their strategic partnership.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham argues the "status quo is not good enough," pushing closer European Union ties while citing Russian "hybrid attacks" that allegedly attempted to influence the 2016 Brexit referendum.
- Burnham told the House of Commons it would be "a dereliction of duty" not to seek stronger ties with the 27-nation bloc, proposing cooperation on public health rules, emission trading schemes, and youth mobility.
- Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage called Burnham's Russian interference claims "outrageous," while Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch pressed the prime minister for evidence regarding Moscow's alleged influence on the 2016 vote.
- Following the summit, Burnham intends to open "a serious dialogue about the different options for our relationship in the long-term," which could include rejoining the European Union to promote growth and uphold security.
