The Prime Minister spoke with President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission on 2 April 2026. In the conversation the leaders condemned Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz, which they said are holding the global economy hostage, and agreed that allies must collaborate to develop a viable plan for full freedom of navigation when circumstances allow. They also discussed their shared ambition to further strengthen the partnership between the United Kingdom and the European Union and the continued support for Ukraine. Both parties pledged to remain in close contact as they progress in the lead‑up to the next UK‑EU summit.
