Americans are increasingly looking for jobs in Britain amid President Donald Trump’s funding cuts and a darkening economic outlook.

Almost one in 10 foreign clicks on U.K. postings came from the U.S. in the three months to March, the largest share since the second quarter of 2023, according to data from job-search website Indeed. U.S. interest in British jobs was up 2.4 percentage points year-on-year, the sharpest increase of any country.
