According to Starmer, the transaction will ensure the movement of £ 250 billion (more than $ 340 billion at the Bank of England) “in both directions through the Atlantic.” This is the “largest investment package of this kind in British history,” he added. The British prime minister called negotiations with the United States “heavy”, and announced “Victory for both sides.”
The new agreement, among other things, involves cooperation in the development of artificial intelligence technologies, quantum technologies, as well as a partnership in the field of nuclear energy.
The transaction will also lead to investment in the British economy by American companies Microsoft, Nvidia, Google and Openai. It is expected that the largest investments in the economy of the United Kingdom will make Microsoft – $ 30 billion. Google promised £ 5 billion (about $ 6.85 billion) for infrastructure and artificial intelligence research over the next two years.
Trump, speaking of relations between London and Washington, said that there was an “inextricable relationship between the United States and Great Britain”. The American president noted that the partnership of the two countries will be “more stronger and stronger.”
At a press conference, Trump noted that his trip to the UK contributed to transactions in the amount of about $ 350 billion in many sectors. The head of the White House called the king and queen of Great Britain – Charles III and Camilla – “two fantastic people.”
