British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa will meet later on Monday in London.
'There is an agreement on the different texts and parallel aspects of the EU-UK Summit,' one EU diplomat said.
'From my understanding, all member states seem to be happy with what's put on the table as the summit is about to start. There is now an ongoing written procedure to have the formal agreement of all member states but it shouldn't cause any problem,' the diplomat said.
Britain is poised to agree the most significant reset of ties with the European Union since Brexit on Monday, seeking closer collaboration on trade and defence to help grow the economy and boost security on the continent.

Singapore key exports slip in July as US shipments tumble 42.7pc
SINGAPORE: Singapore's non-oil domestic exports slipped 4.6 percent in July from a year earlier, government data showed Monday, as shipments to the United States plunged by more than 40 percent. Southeast Asia's second-largest economy is heavily reliant on international trade and is vulnerable to any global slowdown induced by the tariffs – even if Singapore only faces a baseline 10 percent levy from US President Donald Trump. On August 6, Trump announced a 100 percent tariff on chips from firms that do not invest in the United States, and threatened levies of up to 250 percent on pharmaceutical imports. Singapore economy grew 1.1% in 2023, data shows The 42.7 percent July contraction in main exports to the US – Singapore's biggest market – was largely caused by a 93.5 percent decline in pharmaceutical shipments, the government body Enterprise Singapore said on Monday. Meanwhile, exports of specialised machinery dropped 45.8 percent and food preparations were down 48.8 percent. Non-oil domestic shipments to China and Indonesia also declined in July, but grew to the EU, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. The city-state last Tuesday raised its 2025 economic growth forecast, but warned the outlook for the rest of the year remains clouded by global uncertainty, in part due to US tariffs. The trade ministry lifted its gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast to 1.5-2.5 percent from an earlier range of 0-2.0 percent. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Sunday said that he took 'little comfort' from the 10 percent baseline tariff rate the US imposed on Singapore. 'Because no one knows if, or when, the US might raise the baseline, or set higher tariffs on specific industries like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors,' he said in a National Day speech. 'What we do know is that there will be more trade barriers in the world. That means small and open economies like us will feel the squeeze,' Wong added.

US adviser Navarro says India's Russian crude buying has to stop
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said India's purchases of Russian crude were funding Moscow's war in Ukraine and had to stop, adding that New Delhi was 'now cozying up to both Russia and China.' 'If India wants to be treated as a strategic partner of the US, it needs to start acting like one,' Navarro wrote in an opinion piece published in the Financial Times. India's Foreign Ministry has previously said the country is being unfairly singled out for buying Russian oil while the United States and European Union continue to purchase goods from Russia. US President Donald Trump an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods earlier this month, citing New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil, taking total tariffs on imports from India to 50%. 'India acts as a global clearinghouse for Russian oil, converting embargoed crude into high-value exports while giving Moscow the dollars it needs,' Navarro said. The adviser also said it was risky to transfer cutting-edge US military capabilities to India as New Delhi was 'now cozying up to both Russia and China.' Longtime rivals China and India are quietly and cautiously strengthening ties against the backdrop of Trump's unpredictable approach to both. White House defend firing of labor official as critics warn of trust erosion Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of the month while Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India from Monday for talks on the disputed border between the two countries. A planned visit by US trade negotiators to New Delhi from August 25-29 has been called off, a source said over the weekend, delaying talks on a proposed trade agreement and dashing hopes of relief from additional US tariffs on Indian goods from August 27.

European leaders to join Zelenskyy in US for Ukraine talks with Trump
BRUSSELS: European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to Washington on Monday seeking an end to Moscow's invasion, after President Donald Trump dropped his push for a ceasefire following an Alaska summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Securing a ceasefire in Ukraine, more than three years after the Kremlin ordered the invasion, had been one of Trump's core demands before the summit, to which Ukraine and its European allies were not invited. But after the meeting yielded no breakthrough, Trump ruled out an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine — a move that would appear to favour Putin, who has long argued for negotiations on a final peace deal. Ukraine and its European allies have criticised Putin's stance as a way to buy time and press Russia's battlefield advances. The leaders heading to Washington on Monday to try and bend Trump's ear on the matter include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Ahead of the visit, von der Leyen said on X she would welcome Zelenskyy for a meeting in Brussels on Sunday which other European leaders would join by video, before accompanying the Ukrainian leader on his US trip at his 'request' and with 'other European leaders'. The German government, which confirmed Merz was going, said it would try to emphasise 'interest in a swift peace agreement in Ukraine'. Trump had briefed Zelenskyy and European leaders on his flight back from Alaska to Washington, saying afterwards that 'it was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace agreement which would end the war'. Ceasefire agreements 'often times do not hold up,' Trump argued on his Truth Social platform. But Zelenskyy has appeared unconvinced by the change of tack, saying on Saturday that it 'complicates the situation'. If Moscow lacks 'the will to carry out a simple order to stop the strikes, it may take a lot of effort to get Russia to have the will to implement (something) far greater — peaceful coexistence with its neighbours for decades,' he said on social media. European leaders for their part have expressed unease over Trump's outreach to Putin from the outset.
