21.05.2025Day Brexit Reset Deal Polarized Nation While Trump-Putin Call Sparked Peace Claims

Prime Minister Starmer's Brexit "reset" deal with the EU dominated UK media, garnering polarized reactions. The agreement grants EU fishing fleets access to UK waters until 2038, smoother border crossings through e-gates, and commits Britain to following certain EU regulations. Government-aligned outlets framed it as "Britain back on the world stage" and "win-win," while critics described it as "surrender" and "betrayal."

By afternoon, attention shifted to Trump's two-hour call with Putin, after which Trump announced Russia and Ukraine would "immediately" start ceasefire negotiations. Putin expressed readiness to discuss "compromises," though Zelensky emphasized the US should not distance itself from talks.

Coverage continued of Biden's "aggressive" prostate cancer diagnosis from yesterday, with Trump's reaction evolving from "saddened" to "supportive" throughout the day. Scattered reports mentioned the pregnant British teen Bella Culley's prison complaints in Georgia and a 93-year-old being Tasered by police.
