Sir Keir Starmer has hailed the EU’s “historic step forward” as he spoke to leaders after the bloc backed moves to free up hundreds of billions of euros for security.
In a phone call with the president of the European Council Antonio Costa, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the leaders of Canada, Turkey, Norway and Iceland on Friday, the Prime Minister also welcomed the prospect of talks next week in Saudi Arabia after they were confirmed by Volodymyr Zelensky.
