US President Trump and UK Labour leader Starmer agree to strengthen trade and technology partnerships between the United States and the United Kingdom.

In a significant development during his recent visit to London, President Donald Trump announced his intention to designate Antifa as a "major terrorist organization." This announcement was made earlier this week at the White House.

The meeting between Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence, also saw discussions on expanding collaboration in areas such as artificial intelligence, space, and "future-facing" technologies.

During the bilateral talks, Trump discussed the potential use of racketeering laws against those he claims have incited unrest with Attorney General Pam Bondi. He also called for investigations into the funders of Antifa.

The UK government announced new initiatives with the United States, including agreements to advance defense technology, civil nuclear cooperation, new U.S. financial investments, and a technology pact in AI, quantum, and nuclear sectors worth billions of dollars. These initiatives aim to strengthen bilateral ties and advance joint research and development in these cutting-edge sectors.

The economic ties between the two nations are robust, with more than 2.5 million jobs being supported across both economies due to deep business ties. American companies like Microsoft, Citigroup, Boeing, Amazon, and Blackstone operate on a large scale in the UK, while British companies like BP, GSK, Rolls-Royce, and AstraZeneca employ thousands in the United States.

The meeting also included a roundtable with business leaders and a joint news conference. Notably, technology leaders from OpenAI, Apple, and Nvidia attended a state dinner on Wednesday.
