German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed the Kensington Treaty, a historic agreement to deepen cooperation between the UK and Germany on migration, defence, trade, and education. Merz, despite expressing regret over Brexit, proposed a strategic axis between London, Paris, and Berlin to tackle illegal migration and enhance defence ties. The treaty includes joint efforts to counter Russian threats, develop defence technologies, and expand cultural exchanges. Starmer welcomed the partnership, highlighting Germany’s commitment to tighten laws against Channel smuggling. The pact signals a push for stronger European coordination amid rising global uncertainty.
