Trump and Starmer established a "Tech Prosperity Deal" during their meeting at Chequers near Aylesbury, England
Chequers:
During a Thursday meeting, US President Donald Trump expressed his concerns about artificial intelligence's global influence, admitting his limited knowledge while hoping tech executives understood the implications of their work.
The gathering at Chequers included Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and prominent business and technology leaders, notably Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, as part of Trump's second official state visit to the United Kingdom.
Veering from prepared remarks that highlighted Anglo-American relations, a new technology partnership, and substantial investment commitments, Trump candidly acknowledged his unfamiliarity with artificial intelligence technology.
"This will establish new collaborative efforts between government, academia, and private industry in fields such as AI, which is dominating the world... I'm looking at you all. You're dominating the world. Jensen, I'm not sure what you're doing here," Trump remarked to the Nvidia chief executive, prompting laughter from Starmer and attendees.
"I hope you know what you're doing. All I can say is, both of us hope you know what you're doing."
Following these remarks, Trump and Starmer formalized a "Tech Prosperity Deal" focusing on joint development of healthcare AI models, quantum computing advancement, and streamlining civil nuclear initiatives.
As a component of this agreement, Nvidia announced plans to deploy 120,000 graphics processing units across Britain - marking their largest European implementation to date.
Before signing the document, Trump playfully asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, "Should I sign this?"
"Are you certain, Scott? If this deal doesn't work out, I'm holding you responsible, Scott," Trump quipped.
