The U.S. Chamber’s U.S.-UK Business Council welcomed President Trump’s State Visit to the UK this week as a timely opportunity to advance discussions on finalizing the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity deal. Clare Woodman, Chair of the Council and Morgan Stanley’s Head of EMEA, Latin America, and Canada and CEO of Morgan Stanley International & Co. commented on the eve of the visit:

“The U.S. and UK share a commercial relationship worth over $2 trillion, reflecting deep and longstanding economic ties. The President’s visit underscores the significance of that partnership and presents a valuable opportunity to build momentum toward even closer cooperation.”

Later, U.S. Chamber Senior Vice President for Europe Marjorie Chorlins addressed the outcomes of the visit, including the signing of a bilateral Technology Prosperity Deal by President Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer:

“The U.S. Chamber welcomes the increased collaboration between the United States and United Kingdom in areas like research and development, AI and nuclear energy outlined in the Technology Partnership MOU announced today by President Trump and Prime Minister Starmer. However, to truly unleash the full potential of cooperation, both parties must do more to reduce tariff and non-tariff trade barriers. Among other things, this means repealing the UK Digital Services Tax and addressing regulatory overreach, which stifles innovation and growth in key sectors.”
