July 17 Britain and Germany signed a treaty Thursday to stand together on defense and migration, among other matters.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz met Thursday and held a joint press conference in London to discuss what has been dubbed the “Kensington Treaty”, a 30-article document that promises cooperation on several aspects.
“I’m working with Germany to deliver results for British people”, Starmer posted to X Thursday. Merz also posted online, and wrote that the treaty marks “a historic day for German-British relations.”
A specific focus of the accord is on defense, as the document identifies “the Russian Federation’s brutal war of aggression on the European continent as the most significant and direct threat to their security.
