One example of benefits

"New opportunities for increased investment in one another’s economies. President Biden plans to ask the US Congress to designate the UK as a ‘domestic source’ within the meaning of Title III of the the Defense Production Act – meaning British companies can benefit from US Government investment on the same basis as American firms. The act has previously been used to speed up the development of hypersonic weapons."

The deal, which will give British green energy and defence companies access to US markets, will allow British businesses to take advantage of US subsidies as the UK moves away from complaining about Washington’s economic policies to trying to take advantage of them.
