text:  New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he wants to improve the trade deal with the European Union. This as he began a two-day tour of the UK as part of an immediate reset with governments in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Starmer says the UK can get a much better deal than the, quote, botched one negotiated by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And he says there are talks underway on strengthening trade, research and defence ties with the EU.
