Germany and the United Kingdom are set to sign a defence treaty on 17 July that includes a mutual assistance clause, according to Politico.
The agreement stipulates that a strategic threat to either nation would be regarded as a threat to both.
This move follows a joint declaration made last August by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and then-German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, pledging stronger cooperation in areas such as trade and security.
The final details of the broad agreement are currently being finalised, with defence emerging as a key component, Politico reported, citing two officials based in London.
While both countries remain committed to NATO, the planned treaty reflects a broader European trend, particularly under German Chancellor Friedrich Merz toward enhancing intra-European defence ties and reducing dependence on the United States under President Donald Trump.
Requests for comment from the German defence ministry and the chancellor's office went unanswered.
