Britain agreed the most significant reset of ties with the EU since Brexit, removing some trade barriers and collaborating on defense.

Britain agreed the most significant reset of defence and trade ties with the European Union since Brexit after U.S. President Donald Trump's upending of the global order forced the two sides to move on from their acrimonious divorce.

The UK and EU have agreed a historic post-Brexit reset of relations after a “late breakthrough” in overnight talks ahead of a summit in London on Monday, officials on both sides said. The UK agreed to open its fishing waters for 12 more years to EU boats — a move that will be condemned by the opposition Conservatives — according to Brussels officials.
