President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a "life-changing" $350 billion tech investment plan dubbed the "Tech Prosperity Deal" in a press event on Thursday.
While details on the exact agreement remain unclear, Starmer said it would create 15,000 jobs across the U.K. and invest in the development of 12 advanced nuclear reactors – the energy of which will be used to help power energy needs on both sides of the Atlantic.
Trump said the agreement will generate $50 billion in "economic value," create up to 2,500 jobs in the U.S., and power up to 1.5 million homes.
