The EU-U.K. summit scheduled for July 22 has been postponed, announced European Council President António Costa. The meeting aimed to finalize agreements on agrifood, emissions trading, and youth mobility, and explore closer economic ties. The postponement is attributed to the ongoing UK political transition and the upcoming change in Prime Minister.
The EU and UK will hold their next summit on July 22 in Brussels to discuss resetting relations.
