• Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer meet Thursday at Chequers for trade, technology and security talks, with officials signaling a tech partnership and reports pointing to more than $10 billion in tech and civil‑nuclear deals.
• UK officials highlight pre‑visit investment pledges from major U.S. firms, with additional announcements expected during business engagements tied to the visit.
