Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, announced the prospective deal as he stood alongside British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at an event in London on Thursday following President Donald Trump’s state visit. He also promised several more investments in UK-based companies, including financial technology group Revolut, telling the audience of tech entrepreneurs and investors that “the [first] trillion-dollar company in the UK will be an AI company . . . that’s for sure”. Starmer said: “Today we put tech out there as a special feature of the special relationship. Thank you so much Jensen for your confidence in what we are doing and your investment.”
