How should the UK strengthen its relationship with the EU in response to global challenges?

LONDON, April 1 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Wednesday that the global instability caused by the war in Iran means Britain should align more closely with the European Union on security and economy, following criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump.

What are the best ways countries can work together to keep the Hormuz Strait open for shipping?

British foreign minister Yvette Cooper stressed Thursday the "urgent need" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and slammed Iran's "recklessness" as she convened a meeting of some 40 countries on the vital shipping route.
