Russia offers U.S. technology deal

Russia may ultimately replace the United Kingdom in a major technology deal with the United States, Russian Presidential Special Representative and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO Kirill Dmitriev said.

"Maybe Russia eventually replaces the UK in a grand tech deal with the US. The UK needs to learn to solve real problems - not imaginary ones," Kirill Dmitriev said.

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that the U.S. had suspended a technology agreement with the United Kingdom amid growing dissatisfaction in Washington with the progress of trade negotiations with London.

The technology prosperity agreement signed in September was aimed at boosting cooperation between the two countries in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nuclear energy.
