Global events/updates
During Trump’s visit, the UK is eyeing major deals with US giants like BlackRock and Alphabet to boost investment. The trip comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces criticism over weakening business sentiment. The government’s priorities include attracting tech and financial investments, refining trade terms, and reinforcing strong ties with the US for long-term growth.
GSK announced a $30 billion U.S. investment during Trump’s UK visit, including $1.2 billion for advanced manufacturing, AI, and digital technologies. The move aligns with Trump’s push for stronger domestic pharma production and lower drug prices, reflecting growing industry focus on U.S. investments to meet political and market pressures while strengthening global competitiveness.
China’s strict controls on rare earth exports are costing European businesses heavily, with one company losing millions of euros. As China dominates the global supply chain, it gains leverage in trade negotiations. The European Chamber urges Beijing to ease restrictions and address business concerns ahead of its next five-year economic plan.
Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, and OpenAI plan over $40 billion in new AI investments in the UK, with Microsoft committing $30 billion through 2028.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the next-generation Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms will infuse ₹2 lakh crore into the economy, leaving more disposable income in the hands of consumers that would otherwise have gone as taxes.
