LONDON (AP) — The United Kingdom and the European Union are expected to seal new deals on fishing rights and defense as officials meet in London to discuss closer ties. Monday’s meeting is their first official summit since Brexit. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is meeting with top EU officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. British media reported that officials would announce an agreement on fishing access for EU boats in U.K. waters, as well as details on a defense and security partnership. There are hopes the deals could improve the U.K. economy, which has been hit by a drop in EU trade caused by increased costs and red tape after Britain left the bloc in 2020.
