Multiple UK trade bodies are urging the government to include blockchain technology in any technology innovation cooperation agreements signed with the United States, on the eve of President Trump's visit to the UK next week. A letter to the UK Business Secretary shows that over a dozen groups representing the financial, technology, and cryptocurrency industries believe that distributed ledger technology should be a "core component" of the so-called "UK-US technology bridge." President Trump, who has embraced cryptocurrencies in his second term, will lead a delegation of tech leaders including OpenAI founder Sam Altman and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang during this state visit. Reports suggest that an agreement between the two countries will establish a "complementary partnership" in areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
