In a significant technological and geopolitical development, the United Arab Emirates has secured a major agreement to access millions of advanced Nvidia AI chips. This deal, confirmed during President Donald Trump’s Middle East visit, includes the construction of the world’s largest AI data center cluster. The agreement represents a shift from the previous U.S. administration’s cautious stance on AI technology exports due to concerns over Chinese access. Despite internal resistance over national security, Trump officials emphasized safeguards in pushing the deal forward. The pact benefits Nvidia significantly amid new U.S. restrictions on chip sales to China and underscores the UAE’s burgeoning role in global technology.
