U.S. officials have announced the suspension of the implementation of a $40 billion 'Tech Prosperity Agreement' inked with the United Kingdom. This decision stems from apprehensions regarding the UK's digital regulatory framework and food standards protocols. The pact, which spans areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and civil nuclear energy, was solidified during former President Trump's visit to the UK in September. Its primary objective was to commemorate the robust bilateral relationship and underscore the potential for enhanced trade and technological collaboration between the two nations. However, given the current concerns, its execution has been put on hold.
