The agreement includes three texts: a defence and security partnership, a joint statement on working together on geopolitical challenges such as Russia’s war in Ukraine and a “common understanding” on a range of other issues.
Negotiators for the European Union and the UK have reached a deal to strengthen their post-Brexit relationship ahead of a summit on Monday, according to people familiar with the discussions and documents seen by Bloomberg.
The negotiating teams settled on a text at around 2 am European time and while the draft still needs to be approved by political leaders on both sides, no major objections are expected, the people said, asking not to be named discussing private talks.
