Slams brakes on pact as Britain’s speech-policing laws threaten US innovation and free expression...
Authored by Steve Watson: The
Trump administration has delivered a major blow to UK-US relations by
suspending a massive $40 billion Tech Prosperity Deal, citing Britain’s
aggressive censorship regime as a direct threat to American tech giants
and their ability to operate freely.

This
move underscores Trump’s zero-tolerance stance on foreign policies that
undermine US interests, especially when they involve stifling free
speech and handing advantages to global competitors like China.
The White House paused the tech prosperity deal amid concerns the UK
government’s draconian Online Safety Act, which regulates online speech,
will stifle American artificial intelligence companies, the Telegraph
reports.
