UK, US to sign multibillion-dollar tech deal during Trump's visit
Sep 13, 2025 4:25 PM

Sept 13 (Reuters) - The United Kingdom and the U.S. are

preparing to sign a landmark technology agreement in the coming

days as part of President Donald Trump's visit to the UK, the

British Embassy in Washington said on Saturday.

This agreement aims to bolster collaboration between the two

nations' trillion-dollar tech sectors, enhancing opportunities

for businesses and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic.

While the final details were still being negotiated, the

embassy said the partnership will focus on key technologies,

including artificial intelligence, semiconductors,

telecommunications, and quantum computing.

"Cutting-edge technology such as AI and quantum computing

will transform our lives," UK Technology Secretary Liz Kendall,

who was appointed to her role on September 5, said in a

statement.

Trump is set to fly to the UK on Tuesday for a second state

visit, which is expected to last three days. He is due to be

accompanied by a delegation of U.S. executives including Nvidia

Corp ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI's Sam Altman.

BlackRock ( BLK ) plans to invest $700 million in British

data centers as part of a string of deals to be announced during

Trump's state visit next week, Sky News reported on Saturday.

Since the start of the year, both countries have published

AI Action Plans. U.S. firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI are

increasingly establishing international offices in London, while

UK-based companies like DeepMind continue to invest in

trans-Atlantic collaborations.
