Anti-Brexit group calls for closer UK-EU ties after Trump's re-election

An anti-Brexit group, European Movement UK, is advocating for closer ties between the UK and EU following Donald Trump's re-election. They argue that a UK-EU defense pact is essential for security amid concerns about Trump's approach to NATO and European stability. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has also pushed for a new defense and security agreement with the EU. Supporters believe Trump's victory could facilitate negotiations, while critics warn it may compromise UK sovereignty and decision-making. Opponents of the proposed pact argue it would re-establish EU control over the UK, which many voters rejected during Brexit. Some commentators suggest the UK should focus on strengthening ties with the U.S. instead.
