UK AND US AGREE TO £31 BILLION TECH PACT-To mark U.S President Trump’s visit

The UK and the US have agreed a technology pact to boost ties in AI, quantum computing and civil nuclear energy, with top US firms led by Microsoft pledging £31 billion in UK investments.

The “Tech Prosperity Deal” is part of US President Donald Trump’s second state visit to Britain, which will include a day of pomp at Windsor Castle today, hosted by King Charles and the royal family.

Britain said the pact included joint efforts to develop AI models for healthcare, expand quantum computing capabilities and streamline civil nuclear projects. It added that it would support economic growth, scientific research and energy security in both countries.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the deal had the potential to shape the future of millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic, and deliver growth and security. Under the deals announced, chipmaker Nvidia said it would deploy 120,000 graphics processing units across Britain – its largest rollout in Europe to date.
