The Trinity House Agreement enhances military cooperation and industrial collaboration between Europe's two largest defense spenders.

The UK and Germany have signed the Trinity House Agreement, aimed at strengthening defense ties and boosting European security amid rising tensions with Russia.
The pact includes the development of new long-range strike weapons and drones, with a focus on enhancing NATO's eastern flank capabilities.
German P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft will operate periodically from Scotland to monitor the North Atlantic, addressing concerns over Russian naval activity.
A new Rheinmetall factory in the UK will produce artillery gun barrels, creating 400 jobs and marking a resurgence in British military manufacturing.
