US SUSPENDS TECH DEAL WITH BRITAIN – Talks halted mid concerns over regulation security and data sharing
The United States has suspended a planned technology agreement with Britain, according to the Financial Times.
The report says negotiations were paused over concerns related to regulation, security, and data sharing, but sources cited by the paper indicate US officials want clearer safeguards before moving forward.
The deal was expected to deepen cooperation on emerging technologies including artificial intelligence.
British officials have not publicly commented on the reported suspension.
The move may strain recent efforts to strengthen transatlantic economic ties and analysts say talks could resume if both sides address the outstanding issues.
