Donald trump’s skill The Middle East was aimed at billionaire technology Brosa, a fighter-standing escort and business transactions designed to transform the global landscape of artificial intelligence.
At the last stop in Abu Dhabi, the US president announced that unnamed US companies would cooperate with the United Arab Emirates to create the largest set of data centers outside America.
Trump said US companies will help G42, Emirati company, UAE will set up five gigavats with AI computing power.
Sheikh Tahon bin zayed al Nahyan, who runs the UAE artificial intelligence and advanced technology council, is responsible for a $ 1.5 trillion dollar fortune, aimed at creating AI opportunities, said the step would strengthen the position of the UAE as “as a progressive research center and sustainable development. ”
A few days earlier, when Trump arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia announced a humane, AI investment firm owned by the Kingdom’s country’s contribution to the Fund. Saudi Arabia, which was launched with blocked transactions already ink with Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm and AWS-UU technology giants capable of developing infrastructure needed to train and nourish advanced AI models.
Trump said in Rijad that US and Saudi companies would do hundreds of billions of dollars, focusing on infrastructure, technology and protection.
This week’s transactions in the Middle East are designed to strengthen the global importance of American silicon and AI, but they will also help nations such as Saudi Arabia play a more important role in the global race to develop and spread advanced technologies.
“It will help Saudi and the UAE become bigger players, providing AI infrastructure,” says Paul Triolo, a partner of the geopolitical consulting group DGA-Albright Stonebridge Group. “It’s a big deal to access these GPUs.”
The Saudi Arabian deal with Nvidia, which dominates the AI training hardware market, will have 500 megawatts and will involve “hundreds of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced GPUs over the next five years,”
According to one estimated, there could be about 250,000 NVIDIA’s most advanced chips, which are four times better training, and 30 times better (running models that are already trained) than the next best offer. This capacity could make Saudi Arabia create border AI models.
AWS and Humain said they would invest $ 5 billion in infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. AWS said in March that it would form a AI infrastructure area in its country, investing more than $ 5.3 billion. Huge and AMD said they would spend $ 10 billion in AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the US for the next five years.
Saudi Arabia, UAE and other countries in the region have a huge amount of oil money, access to many power and a high desire to switch to more high -tech economies, creating infrastructure of the most advanced technology. However, countries have significant business links with China selling technology to the region by placing them in the growing geopolitical rivalry in the links of the AI future.

A few days before Trump’s visit to the Middle East, his administration changed an important decision of the Bidena era that would have limited the sale of progressive chips around the world. The Directive set up peoples levels with different access to the most advanced chips, and tried to limit how many chips Saudi Arabia and UAE could buy. Critics of the rule suggested that some countries could encourage the purchase of Chinese technology.
A statement announcing changes, the US Industry and Security Bureau said Baiden’s rule “would have suppressed American innovation and saddled companies with cumbersome new regulatory requirements” and “shattered the US diplomatic relations with dozens of countries, lowering them to second -degree status.”
