Dec 15 - The United States has suspended a technology deal it struck with Britain earlier this year, which ‍was ​intended to boost ties in ‍artificial intelligence, quantum computing and civil nuclear energy, the Financial ​Times ​reported on Monday.

British officials on Monday confirmed the U.S. suspended the deal last week, the FT ‍said, adding that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration was ​pushing for Britain's concessions ⁠in areas of trade outside the tech partnership.
