US and UK pledge to strengthen financial ties, Blackstone plans to invest 100 billion pounds.

US President Trump is scheduled to arrive in the UK on Tuesday evening, beginning a three-day state visit. Both the US and UK have pledged to strengthen financial ties, including discussing closer integration of their capital markets. UK Prime Minister Stammer hopes that Trump's visit will showcase the UK as a prime destination for foreign investment. The US private equity firm Blackstone Group has promised to invest 100 billion in UK assets over the next decade. US officials have stated that during this visit, agreements will be reached in the technology sector worth at least $10 billion, a nuclear energy cooperation agreement, and discussions on "maintaining strong connections between major financial centers in the future." However, Trump's visit may bring troubles for Stammer. The US president is unpopular among the British public, and his itinerary has been carefully planned to avoid any public or political protests.
