US-UK Nuclear Pact to Precede Tech, Whisky Deals on Trump Visit

The US and Britain will sign an agreement to make it quicker for companies in both countries to build nuclear power stations when President Donald Trump visits this week, according to the UK government.

The nuclear partnership is one of several economic deals that Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration intends to announce in an effort to keep Trump’s visit from descending into diplomatic and political difficulty. The president arrives in Britain on Tuesday, takes in a day of pageantry with King Charles III on Wednesday and meets Starmer on Thursday.
