Costa Puts EU-UK Summit on Hold Following Starmer Resignation

The sudden leadership vacuum in London has forced Brussels to pause its efforts to reset bilateral relations. Costa noted that while the summit is effectively postponed, officials are currently reassessing whether the meeting remains a strategic priority in the wake of the political upheaval.

Looking ahead, the European Council President expressed a desire for the incoming British administration to maintain the current trajectory in negotiations. The goal remains a stable, long-term partnership, though the transition in Downing Street leaves the timeline for future cooperation uncertain.
