Starmer warns Europe must face 'permanent change' in US relationship
Former UK prime minister says Britain must be central to a common European security framework
Former UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned European leaders that the shift in relations with the United States under President Donald Trump is a permanent change, not an aberration, and that Europe must take far greater responsibility for its own defence and security. In his first significant political intervention since leaving office in July, Starmer told the British Irish Chamber of Commerce that Britain must be at the heart of a stronger Europe.
