These press releases aren't great sources of news. Anyone got a different link?

It's not stated in the article but what US gets in return? I guess some promises of political/tax policy stability. I am curious if there is anything official though.

I think the idea is that we(the UK) will buy small nuclear reactors from the US, and we'll develop ceramic uranium fuel system.

Just the headline itself makes me think of the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” and we all know how that turned out.

Thought the exact same. Not even knowing the history of Japan, just from like one frame in the Bill Wurtz video where that name shows up.

Okay but we also know how it started, which was not as a bilateral trade agreement. I don't think imperial japan has eternally tarnished the concept of 'prosperity' in the same way that hitler forever tarnished that style of mustache.

I wonder if they come up with the names or they use ChatGPT

Good to see some Biden-era initiatives are still sneaking through the cracks! Of course, a lot of this is 100% due to the alignment of a large portion of SV-turned-policymakers in both admins across the pond over the past 5 years.

The problem with policy announcements from the current Whitehouse is that it requires us to believe that they are making policy and that it'll be enacted lawfully.

I'm british, so this should be unvarnished good news. but I just can't imagine this will survive any time past the first bad fox news headline.

Good. The West would likely benefit from strong international partnerships for advancing AI, nuclear, and quantum tech.

Especially the part about helping the UK become Russia-independent for energy.
