You are among friends, and I think we all agree. There's so much to celebrate in the special relationship between our two countries. The deals and investment that you're announcing today. Break all records. What a day. £250 billion flowing both ways across the Atlantic. It is the biggest investment package of its kind in British history. In a moment, the president and I will sign our groundbreaking new technology partnership, the Tech Prosperity Deal. It's a blueprint to win this new era together. The ties between our countries are priceless, and it's really an inheritance. It's a beautiful inheritance. Today, we're making those ties closer than ever before. We've done some things that financially are great for both countries, and we work together and it keeps us together. And I think it's an unbreakable bond we have. So we're taking the next logical step with a historic agreement on science and technology partnerships. And this will create new government, academic and private sector cooperation in areas such as AI, which is taking over the world. It's I mean, I'm looking at you guys. You're taking over the world. Jensen I don't know what you're doing here. I hope you're right. All I can say is we both hope you're right, and we're going to have a lot of deregulation and a tremendous amount of innovation. It's just happening. But this new accord is already helping spur a massive wave of private sector deals worth over $350 billion alone, headlined by a 136 billion from Blackstone. That's very nice Steve. Thank you. That's why you have that location I think. it's considered the best seat over the years is pretty good too. Jensen. That's good. That's great. Steve. You know what? You're doing better than anybody. Trillions of dollars from tariffs. And they've been so incredible for our country. So incredible. We're keeping our companies happy. We're keeping them solid and sane. And they're very, very thrilled at what's happened. They can't even actually they can't even believe it. And we've never seen investment like this. Without the tariffs we would have just a fraction of that. And we're really the only one that can do tariffs. Nobody else is able to do them. We've renewed the special relationship for a new era. The United Kingdom, the United States stand together today as first partners on defense, first partners in trade. With the groundbreaking deal we struck in May, and now with the new agreement that we've just signed this afternoon. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump and Starmer Sign ‘Groundbreaking’ Billion-Dollar U.K.-U.S. Tech Prosperity Deal","description":"President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer signed what the latter referred to as a “groundbreaking” new U.K.-U.S. Tech Prosperity Deal on Thursday.\n\nPraising the commitment, Starmer said “the deals and investment being announced today break all records.”\n\n“What a day, 250 billion pounds [340 billion dollars] flowing both ways across the Atlantic,” Starmer said. “It is the biggest investment package of its kind in British history by a country mile.”\n","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Q9y7LrMJ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2025-09-18T15:37:02.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Q9y7LrMJ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/Q9y7LrMJ/","duration":"PT3M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/Q9y7LrMJ/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
