Britain and China have hailed a reset in their relationship, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Xi Jinping agreeing to strengthen cooperation on trade, investment, and technology, marking a new chapter in diplomatic ties.

US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday announced a limited bilateral trade agreement that leaves in place Trump's 10% tariffs on British exports, modestly expands agricultural access for both countries and lowers prohibitive US duties on British car exports.
