The Labour leader provoked fury as he boasted of having a "very political discussion" with the French President.
The controversial Paris meeting came as France and Germany tabled plans for a dramatic expansion of the EU that could see Britain rejoin as an "associate member".
Sir Keir has said he would prioritise getting a "much better deal for the UK" as part of a review of the post-Brexit trade deal due in 2026 if he wins the next general election.
Brussels is preparing to welcome Ukraine as a full member of the bloc in less than seven years as part of its biggest shake up in decades." The new Franco-German plans call for a four-tiered European Union to integrate countries that aren't "willing and/or able to join the EU in the foreseeable future".
