This is the best summary I could come up with:

The president, who has been a critic of Brexit and the UK’s departure from the EU, made it clear he values the special relationship but only as a “knot” tying together the US and Europe.

It comes as Sir Keir has started the process of renegotiating Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal and also setting up a new EU security pact.

The two men met immediately after England’s Euro 2024 victory over the Netherlands, which clearly cheered Sir Keir ahead of the meeting.

Meanwhie, Biden said the UK — a founding signatory of the North Atlantic Treaty — is “knot that ties the transatlantic alliance together” as the two men sat side-by-side during a brief availability with reporters.

The meeting between American and British leaders comes as Mr Biden faced more calls for him to stand down from his re-election effort following his disastrous performance in a =debate against his predecessor and current Republican challenger, Donald Trump.

Mr Trump, an opponent of Nato who has threatened to renege on America’s commitment to the mutual defense provisions of the North Atlantic Treaty should allied nations fail to spend enough on defense, is currently leading Mr Biden in most public opinion polling, causing consternation among Nato leaders who fear he could destabilise the alliance by pulling America out of it should he return to office next year.

Either rejoin the EU or fuck off

Why? Plenty of other flavors. The EU has partner countries with free access to the market and no voting rights. Countries with expedited customs. Rejoining would need to go though the normal process.

Because they already had a great deal then unceremoniously fucked up a lot of things by opening a can of worms that no one needed opening. There are knock on issues with those other deals, some countries house tax evaders and others make access for undesirables very easy. The UK has shown that they will fuck over anyone if it suits them so why give them a deal. They likely would not even meet the criteria for ascension now regardless given their move toward deregulation and apparent rise in corruption.

There is a lot of work for the new government to gain back trust.

Oooohhh “a deal”. I read that as a negotiated settlement not as letting them of the hook with some kind of sweetheart deal.

No the UK has shat the bed themselves, now they lie in it. If they want to be part of the single market or rejoin, then through the processes that exist for that.

Will Biden remember this tomorrow?

But just to be clear: I hope he drops out and the dems win with someone else

Lost_My_Mind ,

I’m available. What are my qualifications?

  1. I’m not trump.
  2. I’m 40.

Britain will not rejoin EU in my lifetime, says Starmer

???

nforminvasion ,

I could be wrong but I read this in a “him being realistic way, not wanting that”. I think he wants reunification but looking at the political environment, he was speaking what he saw as the reality.

Some have suggested this reluctance to talk about the issue masked a desire to pursue re-entry to the customs union or single market during a second Labour term, something other senior figures in the party have failed to rule out. Starmer insisted on Wednesday, however, this was not the case.

Asked whether he could see any circumstances where the UK rejoined the single market or customs union within his lifetime, Starmer said: “No. I don’t think that that is going to happen. I’ve been really clear about not rejoining the EU, the single market or the customs union – or [allowing a] return to freedom of movement.”

I could be wrong but I view this as him and the party not wanting to pursue it at all.

At best, it may be “soft brexit”, where you become a Switzerland or Norway. At worse, you negotiate a few things to facilitate trade and circulation…

Rayspekt ,

Please don’t. Either join EU and adopt the Euro or don’t. It’s already bad enough that countries like Switzerland are allowed to benefit that nich from EU when they shaft the whole continent with their tax/wealth haven.

Nobody is letting them rejoin until they have a referendum with a decisive margin of victory and that will take decades, particularly with Nigel Farage agitating for little britain.

@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t think the EU would allow that anymore.

The UK already had a special position within the EU by having their own coin and not having to play by all the EU rules. It was pretty weird that they wanted to leave in the first place while having such an advantageous spot.

@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

All of what you say is part of rejoinining. I said that at best they would revert to soft brexit (which is not rejoining) Switzerland and Norway are not it the EU.

Linkerbaan ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

You are right but I doubt the EU would allow it. They made a pretty big stink about if the UK left they wouldn’t be allowed back on the same terms.

RizzRustbolt ,

Why didn’t they have Biden sitting on the other side?

Misleading title. Brexit will not be renegotiated, it’s over and done with. The relation between the UK and the EU will always be an evolving matter (like the relation of the EU and any other country including its members), bit Brexit is done, the UK is out and that’s the new premise of any discussion and evolution of the relation.
