The trade agreement is expected to include cooperation in civil nuclear power and advances in defence technology cooperation

The United States and Britain plan to announce more than US$10 billion in economic deals this week as part of US President Donald Trump’s state visit, senior US officials said on Monday.

The two governments are expected to seal a trade agreement with three pillars: a new science and technology partnership to strengthen the tech sectors of both countries, cooperation in civil nuclear power, and advances in defence technology cooperation, the officials said in a telephone briefing.

Several US tech business leaders are expected to attend the state visit, the officials said.
