The UK is not in a position of strength at the moment.
Brexit might give us back 'control' from Brussels but does not exactly give us the upper hand in commercial negotiations with the US.
Now, I'm sure that Nvidia will want the deal to close smoothly and will thus be willing to give similar guarantees. Of course the trick is that these guarantees usually (and sensibly) come with a time limit, which also suits governments, so don't mean that much in fine.
