"Britain and the US have struck a tech deal that could bring billions of pounds of investment to the UK as President Donald Trump touches down for his state visit. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the agreement represented a general step change in Britain's relationship with the US that would deliver growth, security and opportunity up and down the country. The tech prosperity deal, announced as Mr Trump arrived in the UK on Tuesday night, will see the UK and US co-operate in areas including artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing and nuclear power. It comes alongside 31 billion of investment in Britain from America's top technology companies, including 30 billion dollars (22 billion) from Microsoft. Microsoft's investment, the largest ever made by the company in the UK, will fund an expansion of Britain's AI infrastructure, which Labour sees as a key part of its efforts to secure economic growth, and the construction of the country's largest AI supercomputer."
