Story summary

The U.K. Defence Minister Wes Streeting warned the European Union against excluding Britain from its “Made in Europe” initiative, which aims to boost domestic sectors like cars and defense by requiring companies to buy European products if they want public money. This warning came ahead of a key EU-U.K. summit scheduled for November 20, 2026, where British Prime Minister Andy Burnham plans to discuss long-term relations with the bloc. Streeting expressed concern that such measures could lead to protectionism and harm cooperation between Britain and the EU, which separated after the Brexit vote a decade ago. The minister also met with top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas in Brussels on November 1, 2026, and will meet with EU Defence Chief Andrius Kubilius as well.
