Google to Pump £5 Billion into UK Ahead of Trump’s Visit
Google is making a big bet on the UK. The tech giant announced a £5 billion investment timed with U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming state visit.
At the heart of the plan is a new data centre in Waltham Cross, designed to keep up with rising demand for services like Google Cloud, Search, Maps, and Workspace.
The move isn’t just about technology. Google says the investment could generate around 8,250 jobs every year across British businesses.
Finance Minister Rachel Reeves called it “a powerful vote of confidence in the UK economy and the strength of our partnership with the US.”
For Prime Minister Keir Starmer, it’s a welcome boost as his government seeks to draw in private investment and revive economic momentum.
The Waltham Cross facility is just the start. Google has teamed up with Shell Energy Europe Limited to support the national grid and push forward Britain’s clean energy goals.
The company aims to operate nearly 95% of its UK sites on carbon-free energy by 2026.
Trump’s visit is expected to spark further deals, with senior U.S. officials hinting at agreements worth more than $10 billion. These include projects in technology, energy, and finance.
More on these developments is covered in Trump’s UK visit, which shows just how closely the US and UK are linking business and diplomacy.
Google’s advertisement highlights further than just profitable confidence it signals a growing transatlantic cooperation in technology and sustainability.
The move sets the stage for an unborn enterprise aimed at invention, green energy, and long-term substance for both nations.
