Nvidia CEO on the UK: ‘I'm going to invest here'
There was no shortage of praise between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Jensen Huang, CEO of semiconductor giant Nvidia, during the opening panel of London Tech Week. Huang said it was 'vital' to invest in the UK, where, in his view, the country's research culture is one of its biggest assets. The leader of the world's most valuable company said the UK is in a 'goldilocks circumstance', given its access to a rich AI community and its position as the third-largest AI venture capital investor after the US and China. The US CEO said the biggest factor holding the UK back was its lack of infrastructure, but he praised an earlier announcement from Starmer that the government would invest an extra £1bn ($1.4bn) to scale up the country's computing capability by a factor of 20. Starmer was pleased to hear Huang's optimism, saying that Nvidia's interest in the UK was 'a vote of confidence'. The PM also announced in his opening keynote speech that the government would launch an initiative to train 7.5 million AI workers by 2030 and invest £187m in tech education. Huang said Nvidia was ready to invest in the UK by launching an AI lab to help 'start off the AI ecosystem and infrastructure'. Ahead of the CEO's appearance with Starmer, Nvidia announced several partnerships with the UK. Nscale, a British cloud computing provider, announced it would develop AI infrastructure with 10,000 Nvidia Blackwell graphics processing units by 2026. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority also launched a 'supercharged sandbox' with Nvidia, allowing banks and other organisations to experiment with AI products. Starmer's growth-focused government has been vocal about the role AI will play in the country's future, reflected in the AI Opportunities Action Plan, published in January. While he acknowledged public fears about the onslaught of AI, particularly regarding job displacement, the PM said every part of society could benefit. 'By the end of this parliament we should be able to look every parent in the eye in every region in Britain and say, 'look what technology can deliver for you',' Starmer said. Huang reflected this optimism, describing AI as "the great equaliser", predicting every industry in the UK would eventually be a tech industry. He added that the chatbot aspect of large language models democratised technology, because there is no need to know a more complicated coding language anymore. "The way you programme AI is like the way you programme a person," he said.

Online shopper slammed with a $1K tariff bill after ordering from popular retailer: ‘I had no idea'
One woman's online shopping spree turned into a fashion fiasco — with a hefty price tag. Amanda Ivanelli, a Florida-based family vlogger, was floored when she opened her mail and found a $1,243 FedEx bill associated with a recent ASOS order. She originally ordered 'a bunch of dresses' from the British fast fashion side but only kept one or two of them, totaling about $150. Advertisement 'I got my mail today, and I got this,' she said in a now-viral TikTok, waving the invoice. 'And I open it, and I'm like, 'It's an invoice for $1,243.'' Ivanelli suspects the surprise fee was due to import tariffs — government-imposed taxes on foreign goods that President Donald Trump imposed under a rarely used 1977 emergency law. Advertisement 'I would have never ordered from ASOS or anywhere that I know I would be charged for — I'm assuming — the tariffs,' she fumed in the clip. 'Isn't that something that should have been shown at checkout?' 'I had no idea when I checked out, I had no idea,' she went on. The Post reached out to Ivanelli for comment and more details on her experience. Advertisement Fashionistas are feeling the tariff squeeze more than ever these days. The measures targeted China, Mexico, Canada and nearly every U.S. trading partner. While a federal court blocked the tariffs in May, the Trump team is expected to appeal — and shoppers are left hanging in legal limbo. It's become like a curse word, one style-savvy New Yorker dished to The Post. Advertisement Tiffany Radulescu, a 34-year-old Brooklyn glam girl, told The Post she skips the shipping stress by jet-setting to Europe for her wardrobe hauls. One Florida mom and TikTokker was recently left gasping after finding a $1.2K FedEx bill for an ASOS haul — despite only keeping a couple of dresses and returning the rest. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images 'I'd rather catch a flight than catch a tariff,' Radulescu quipped, revealing she regularly flies to Paris to scoop Prada, Hermès and Louboutin without worrying about getting dinged by Uncle Sam. And she's not the only one scheming to skirt the fees. Social media has become a runway of rage, with users bashing jaw-dropping duties that sometimes exceed the cost of the clothes themselves. Big brands like Walmart, Nike and Macy's have hiked domestic prices to cover the added costs, while luxury houses like Louis Vuitton and Hermès have padded US prices to keep profits intact. Even activewear giant Lululemon has been feeling it. Advertisement 'We are not immune to macroeconomic factors such as tariffs,' chief financial officer Meghan Frank said during a recent earnings call. CEO Calvin McDonald added that while Lululemon had seen some tariff relief, the brand remains 'vigilant.' Turns out Ivanelli isn't the only fashionista shopping for clothes and getting hemmed in by hidden fees.

Trump says China ‘not easy' as trade talks to continue Tuesday
(Bloomberg) — Supply Lines is a daily newsletter that tracks global trade. Sign up here. Trade talks between the US and China will continue into a second day, according to a US official, as the two sides look to ease tensions over shipments of technology and rare earth elements. Representatives for both nations ended their first day of negotiations in London after more than six hours at Lancaster House, a 19th century mansion near Buckingham Palace. The talks concluded around 8 p.m. London time. The advisers will meet again Tuesday at 10 a.m. in the British capital, the official said. 'We are doing well with China. China's not easy,' Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday. 'I'm only getting good reports.' The US delegation was led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The presence of Lutnick, the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO, underscored the importance that export controls are playing in these discussions. Bessent told reporters in London they had a 'good meeting' and Lutnick called the discussions 'fruitful.' The Chinese delegation was led by Vice Premier He Lifeng, who left without commenting to the media. The US signaled a willingness to remove restrictions on some tech exports in exchange for assurances that China is easing limits on rare earth shipments, which are critical to a wide array of energy, defense and technology products, including smartphones, fighter jets and nuclear reactor rods. China accounts for almost 70% of the world's production of rare earths. Specifically, the Trump administration is prepared to remove a recent spate of measures targeting chip design software, jet engine parts, chemicals and nuclear materials, people familiar with the matter said. Many of those actions were taken in the past few weeks as tensions flared between the US and China. Trump was noncommittal about lifting export curbs, telling reporters 'we'll see' when asked about the possibility of such a move. 'China has been ripping off the United States for many years,' the US president said, while adding that 'we want to open up China.' The Trump administration expects that 'after the handshake' in London, 'any export controls from the US will be eased and the rare earths will be released in volume' by China, Kevin Hassett, head of the White House's National Economic Council, told CNBC earlier in the day Monday. Hassett's comments from Washington were the clearest signal yet that the US is willing to offer such a concession, though he added that the US would stop short of including the most sophisticated chips made by Nvidia Corp. used to power artificial intelligence. 'The very, very high-end Nvidia stuff is not what I'm talking about,' Hassett said, adding that restrictions would not be lifted on the Nvidia H2O chips that are used to train AI services. 'I'm talking about possible export controls on other semiconductors which are also very important to them.' Chinese shares trading in Hong Kong entered a bull market, as some investors expressed hope the talks signaled a cooling of trade tensions. In the US, traders drove stocks higher, with the S&P 500 within 2% of its February peak. The first round of negotiations since delegations from the countries met a month ago is aimed at restoring confidence that both sides are living up to commitments made in Geneva. During those discussions, Washington and Beijing agreed to lower crippling tariffs for 90 days to allow time to address a trade imbalance that the Trump administration blames on an unfair playing field. A phone call last week between President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping appeared to give fresh momentum to reaching a deal. US-China trade tensions escalated this year as Trump hiked duties on Chinese goods, prompting retaliation from Beijing. That's led to pain in both economies, including uncertainties for businesses trying to navigate sudden changes in trade policy. —With assistance from Meghashyam Mali, Mackenzie Hawkins and Jennifer A.
