The UK and the US commit to strengthening financial ties, with Blackstone planning to invest £100 billion.

Jin10 data September 16 - US President Trump will arrive in the UK on Tuesday evening for a three-day state visit. Both the US and UK have committed to strengthening financial ties, including exploring closer integration of the two countries' Capital Markets. UK Prime Minister Starmer hopes to showcase the UK as a hotspot for foreign investment during Trump's visit. The American private equity firm Blackstone Group has pledged to invest £10 billion in UK assets over the next decade. US officials stated that the visit will at least result in a $10 billion investment agreement in the technology sector, a nuclear cooperation agreement, and discussions on “how to maintain deep connections between major financial centers in the future.” However, Trump's visit may pose challenges for Starmer. The American president is unpopular among the British public, and his itinerary has been carefully designed to avoid any public or political protests.
