U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0state visit to Britain\u00a0has generated 150 billion pounds ($204.87 billion) of inward investment, the British government said on Wednesday, citing its own data, which compiled new and previously announced pledges.<\/p>\n

The figure, which Britain said was the largest commercial investment package generated by any state visit, was announced after Trump\u2019s day of royal pageantry and ahead of the political leg of the visit, when he will meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer.<\/p>\n

The total includes a\u00a0previously reported\u00a0100 billion pound long-term investment pledge from private equity firm Blackstone, and 3.9 billion pounds from Prologis in life sciences and advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n

With British\u00a0public opinion split\u00a0over the decision to roll out the red carpet for Trump and host him for an unprecedented second state visit, the government is keen to promote its potential economic gains.<\/p>\n

Starmer, facing intense scrutiny of his leadership after a series of\u00a0political missteps, won power last July on a pledge to revive Britain\u2019s stagnant economy and improve living standards for millions of Britons. The government said the new investment would create some 7,600 new jobs.<\/p>\n

The government also set out a series of investments flowing in the opposite direction, highlighting a\u00a0$30 billion research and development investment\u00a0in the United States by drugmaker GSK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
