Future relations

"They agreed that it was important to take into account the future relationship as well as the detailed exit agreement, so that we can provide greater certainty for folks and businesses who want to live and work in each other's countries, inch a Downing Street source said.
They also decided a beginning deal on the rights of EU residents in the united kingdom and Britons in the remaining of Europe was desirable.

'Inferior deal'
She was expected to have an casual "brush by" with Malta's prime minister, Joseph Pampre, who told the BBC's World Service that while he wants a "fair deal" for the UK after Brexit, it should be "inferior" to full EU regular membership.
"No one wants the UK economy to go through, I think this is a lose-lose situation, very well said Mr Muscat, in whose country holds the turning European Council presidency.
Whilst he admits that this individual expects a transitional offer for Britain will be agreed quite easily, this individual stressed: "Now, in my book for anyone who is not part of the single market, that is an poor deal. But maybe for the British government if you're not area of the one market but arrive at control your borders this is a superior deal. "

Mrs May was the first foreign leader to visit the Trump White House and she is using the European Council summit to tell Nato members they need to increase their spending on defence.

Mr Trump had previously called the transatlantic alliance "obsolete", but as part of efforts to build a bridge between Washington and Europe, Mrs May is saying his commitment to her about being "100% behind Nato" underlines the importance of defence and security cooperation

Nato estimates for 2016 show that only five alliance members - the US, UK, Greece, Poland and Estonia - will spend a minimum of 2% of national output (GDP) on defence, which is the target.

The BBC's deputy political editor John Pienaar says it was a tough ask for many European countries as it would mean doubling their defence expenditure.
