During the meeting with Trump, he reaffirmed, “We are keen to continue working with the United States to promote peace and stability in the region.”
Trump expressed his satisfaction with the evolving relationship, saying, “I believe the artificial intelligence project with the UAE will be exceptional.”
There is a preliminary agreement between the U.S. and the UAE allowing the Gulf state to import 500,000 units annually of NVIDIA’s most advanced AI chips starting this year.
This deal is expected to strengthen the UAE’s efforts to develop critical data centers necessary for training AI models. However, sources have noted that the agreement has raised national security concerns within some U.S. government circles, and its terms may be revised.
Before departing Doha for the UAE, Trump praised Qatar’s $10 billion investment plan for Al Udeid Air Base—America’s largest military base in the Middle East—during a speech to U.S. forces stationed there.
He also revealed that Qatar signed $42 billion worth of defense procurement agreements with the U.S. on Wednesday.
Trump’s Gulf tour included the signing of a series of major commercial agreements, among them a deal for Qatar Airways to purchase up to 210 wide-body Boeing aircraft, a $600 billion Saudi investment commitment in the U.S., and $142 billion in American arms sales to Riyadh.
