United States Forms AI Partnership with UAE
- On May 15, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in Abu Dhabi that America and the UAE had reached an understanding to enable the Gulf nation to acquire advanced AI semiconductors, marking a significant partnership that includes a major chip supply agreement.
- The deal followed the Trump administration’s rescission of the Biden-era AI Diffusion Rule, which had restricted AI chip exports to allies like the UAE for national security reasons.
- The agreement includes a path for the UAE to import up to 500,000 Nvidia H100 AI chips annually to support an AI technology cluster led by Abu Dhabi’s firm G42.
- The AI cluster will span 10 square miles with a 5-gigawatt capacity, making it the largest outside the U.S., as Trump described the contract as a "very big contract."
- The partnership advances UAE’s ambitions to become a global AI hub and involves $1.4 trillion in reciprocal investments despite concerns over technology security risks.
