On the eve of Trump's visit to the UK next week, several British trade groups are urging the government to include blockchain technology in any technological innovation cooperation agreement signed with the US. A letter to the UK's business secretary revealed that more than a dozen groups representing the financial, tech, and cryptocurrency industries stated that distributed ledger technology should be a "core component" of the so-called "UK-US Technology Bridge." Trump, who embraced crypto assets during his second term, will be accompanied on this state visit by a delegation of tech leaders, including OpenAI founder Sam Altman and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Reports indicate that an agreement between the two countries will establish a "complementary partnership" in areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
