US President Donald Trump wrapped up his tour of the Middle East today, concluding numerous high-profile deals and diplomatic engagements with countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
On his last stop of the Gulf tour, Trump inked a massive AI data centre project where the two countries will be partnering on an artificial intelligence campus. Trump noted that the United Arab Emirates and the United States had agreed on a path for the Gulf country to buy advanced AI semiconductors from U.S. companies. This marks a significant step forward in Abu Dhabi’s efforts to become a global AI hub.
The AI agreement “includes the UAE committing to invest in, build, or finance U.S. data centres that are at least as large and as powerful as those in the UAE.”
Trump also pledged to strengthen U.S. ties to the United Arab Emirates, announcing deals with the Gulf state totalling over $200 billion. The two countries have agreed to deepen cooperation in artificial intelligence.
The US and UAE have agreed to establish a “US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership” framework. Trump and Sheikh Mohamed also attended the unveiling of the new 5GW AI campus. This would be the largest outside the United States. However, the countries did not specify which AI chips from Nvidia or other companies could be included in the data centres.
“In the UAE, American companies will operate the data centers and offer American-managed cloud services throughout the region. The agreement also contains strong security guarantees to prevent diversion of U.S. technology.”
