The US has suspended implementation of a technology deal it struck with the UK during Donald Trump’s state visit to Britain, amid growing frustrations in Washington over the progress of trade talks with London, the Financial Times reported late Monday. The US-UK technology prosperity deal, which was announced in September, aims to spur co-operation between the two countries in areas including artificial intelligence, quantum computing and nuclear energy, the FT noted. British officials on Monday confirmed to the FT that the US suspended the deal last week, with one saying the Trump administration was pushing for UK concessions in areas of trade outside the tech partnership. Trade talks have been taking place between the US and UK since the two sides struck a deal to alleviate Donald Trump’s tariffs on British goods in May. FT sources said US officials were becoming increasingly frustrated with the UK‘s lack of willingness to address so-called non-tariff barriers, including rules and regulations governing food and industrial goods.
