The UK and European Union will begin formal talks on a reset of their relationship next year, as Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said she wanted to deepen economic ties with the bloc to boost growth.
“Those conversations about the reset and those negotiations will begin in the new year,” Reeves told reporters after addressing the Eurogroup meeting of European finance ministers in Brussels. “I recognize that the deal that the previous government secured post-Brexit was not the best one for our country.”
