It will be a hard and emotional day,” said Von der Leyen. allies remain in NATO and the UN. We will remain good friends. “
There should be a second deal at the end of this year: a trade agreement on how the EU27 and London want to work together in the coming years. That new relationship cannot be as close as it used to be, Von der Leyen said. In her speech, she outlined how the EU sees the new cooperation with the British.
