From Fox Business: President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a “life-changing” $350 billion tech investment plan dubbed the “Tech Prosperity Deal” in a press event on Thursday.
While details on the exact agreement remain unclear, Starmer said it would create 15,000 jobs across the U.K. and invest in the development of 12 advanced nuclear reactors – the energy of which will be used to help power energy needs on both sides of the Atlantic.
Trump said the agreement will generate $50 billion in “economic value,” create up to 2,500 jobs in the U.S., and power up to 1.5 million homes.
“It’s a blueprint to win this new era together. Shape it according to our shared values, and seize the incredible opportunities that are on offer,” Starmer said. “We have huge new investments from Nvidia N scale, Open AI, Google, Salesforce and many more backing cutting-edge British jobs for years to come.”
“We’re taking the next logical step with a historic agreement on science and technology partnerships,” President Trump announced.
The event was held at Chequers – the prime minister’s official country residence in Buckinghamshire.
