Google is set to offer significant discounts on its cloud computing services to the U.S. government, with the deal potentially being finalized within weeks, the Financial Times reported on Friday. This move comes as part of President Donald Trump's broader push to reduce federal expenditures. Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Oracle would provide federal agencies with a 75% discount on its license-based software, along with a notable reduction on its cloud services through the end of November.

According to the Financial Times, Google’s agreement is expected to be in a similar range. The report, citing a senior official from the General Services Administration, also mentioned that Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services are expected to follow with comparable discounts. "All of these companies are fully committed and understand the mission," the official told the paper. "We’ll reach agreements with all four."

Reuters was unable to independently confirm the report. Both Google and the General Services Administration did not respond to requests for comment outside normal working hours. Earlier in April, Google had already agreed to offer a 71% discount on its business applications suite to U.S. federal agencies through September 30—a deal that could result in as much as $2 billion in savings if adopted government-wide.
