The visit yielded major announcements, including two significant U.S.-UK investment agreements focused on advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, semiconductor production, and nuclear energy. Notably, plans include the construction of 12 modular nuclear reactors in northern England, expected to create thousands of jobs and boost energy supply. These initiatives represent over $150 billion in american investment into the UK.<\/p>\n<p>On the war in Ukraine, Trump expressed frustration with Russian aggression but stopped short of fully committing the U.S. to a defense guarantee for Kyiv. He also indicated willingness to escalate sanctions on Russia&#8217;s energy sector,contingent on European support,with the nuclear energy agreements seen as a step toward reducing European reliance on Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the diplomatic successes, there were significant protests in the UK against Trump&#8217;s visit, fueled partly by his past associations and domestic political controversies. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/five-reasons-2024-is-shaping-up-like-2016-for-trump\/\" title=\"2024: ...&#039;s D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu from 2016\">facing low approval ratings<\/a> and domestic challenges, may or may not politically benefit from the visit. the visit highlighted strong future-oriented diplomacy between the UK and the U.S., with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kemp-says-trump-tariffs-could-be-problematic-if-left-in-place\/\" title=\"Kemp says ... tariffs &#039;could be problematic&#039; if left in place\">potential long-term economic<\/a> and strategic benefits for both nations. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Was Trump&rsquo;s royal welcome worth it?

(Kevin Lamarque\/Pool Photo via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Trump administration has reveled in how the president&rsquo;s tariff agenda is driving new, foreign investments into domestic manufacturing, but this week&rsquo;s trip saw the White House driving new American investments into critical British industries. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, during Trump&rsquo;s bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers, the two governments formally announced two separate US-UK investment agreements. The first was an investment partnership on artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and semiconductor production, while the second launched a collaborative framework to expand nuclear energy in Britain, which, among other projects, will see American energy company X-Energy work with British partners to construct 12 modular nuclear reactors across northern England, which conservative estimates believe will create 2,500 new jobs and hit output levels to power some 1.5 million homes.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the two initiatives are expected to see more than $150 billion in American capital invested on the other side of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>On Ukraine, Trump did not formally commit the United States to the defense backstop for Kyiv that Europeans have been pressing for, but the president did voice increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin&rsquo;s ongoing, and escalating, attacks against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3813163\/trump-swaps-windsor-castle-chequers-final-leg-uk-state-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TRUMP SWAPS WINDSOR CASTLE FOR CHEQUERS IN FINAL LEG OF UK STATE VISIT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s really let me down,&rdquo; Trump said of Putin during his Thursday press conference with Starmer at Chequers. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Russia situation, I hope we&rsquo;re going to have some good news for you coming up,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t so much affect you. Of course, you are a lot closer to the scene than we are. We have a whole ocean separating us, but I will say this. It&rsquo;s millions of people who have died in that war, millions of souls, and they&rsquo;re not American. They&rsquo;re soldiers, mostly soldiers, as you know. The soldiers are being killed at levels nobody&rsquo;s seen since the Second World War, but they&rsquo;re being killed, and I feel I have an obligation to get it settled for that reason.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Before heading to the United Kingdom, Trump announced that he was ready to escalate penalties on Russia&rsquo;s energy sector and their chief transshipping partner, China, as long as European nations joined the U.S. in declaring new sanctions and tariffs. White House officials told the Washington Examiner that Thursday&rsquo;s nuclear announcement was a &ldquo;critical&rdquo; step toward reducing the U.K.&rsquo;s reliance on Russian oil and could provide a model for other European nations to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Starmer himself isn&rsquo;t totally out of hot water. As of late August, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/boris-johnson-accused-of-breaking-lockdown-again-with-alleged-wine-and-cheese-party\/\" title=\"Boris Johnson Accused of Breaking Lockdown Again with Alleged Wine and Cheese Party\">prime minister enjoyed<\/a> a 44-point negative approval rating, and hundreds, if not thousands, of leftists turned up to protest Trump&rsquo;s visit to Windsor Castle on Wednesday. The night prior, as Trump was landing at London&rsquo;s Stansted Airport, two separate groups of activists put up displays at Windsor highlighting the president&rsquo;s past connections to disgraced financier and sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>De Fossard told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that it &ldquo;remains to be seen&rdquo; if the positives earned from Trump&rsquo;s trip will help Starmer &ldquo;politically.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3812179\/trump-charles-lavish-uk-state-banquet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LAVISH STATE BANQUET CAPS DAY OF MAGNIFICENT CEREMONY FOR TRUMP IN UNITED KINGDOM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Foreign policy interventions and summits rarely win votes in Britain and the government faces huge domestic problems on immigration, inflation and public sector debt,&rdquo; he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump&#8217;s grand UK visit seen as a success despite protests<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3007,"featured_media":2488861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25261543128784_40671f.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[13035,5894,34832,63725,3634],"class_list":["post-2488860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-britain","tag-politics","tag-public-opinion","tag-royal-red-carpet","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/AP25261543128784_40671f.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2488860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3007"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2488860"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2488860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2488864,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2488860\/revisions\/2488864"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2488861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2488860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2488860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2488860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
