<h1>UK Germany Sign Defense Treaty Boosting Military Cooperation Trade Relations Migration Enforcement</h1> The UK and Germany signed a comprehensive treaty strengthening defense cooperation, trade relations, and migration enforcement. The agreement commits both nations to mutual military assistance in case of armed attack, though practical implications remain unclear given existing NATO obligations. The treaty emphasizes enhanced European defense contributions amid concerns about US support under the current administration. Key provisions include joint defense production of armored vehicles and jets, development of precision strike missiles, and establishment of a German drone factory in England. The countries agreed to coordinate against people-smuggling operations across the English Channel, with Germany criminalizing facilitation of UK-bound migration by year-end. The treaty also enables easier student exchanges between nations. This follows similar agreements with France, reflecting broader European security coordination efforts supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression while increasing defense spending commitments.
