President Donald Trump said on Friday during his last judgment during a gulf tour focused on trade agreements that the United Arab Emirates and the United States had agreed for the Gulf country to buy semiconductors advanced to American companies, a major victory for Abu Dhabi’s efforts to become an AI world hub.
Trump has also completed his tour of the Gulf of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates with a commitment from the oil power Abu Dhabi – the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the richest emirate – to increase the value of its energy investments in the United States to 440 billion dollars in the next decade.
Trump left for Washington after swirling meetings with Gulf leaders aimed at obtaining financial commitments from the rich energy producers that could stimulate the American economy and create jobs.
In March, when senior water officials met Trump, the United Arab Emirates were engaged in an investment framework of $ 1.4 billion over 10 years in the United States in sectors, including energy, AI and manufacturing to deepen reciprocal links.
“We are making great progress for the $ 1.4 (Billion) that the water announced that it intended to spend in the United States,” Trump said in Abu Dhabi, at the end of the four-day tour that has concentrated, at least publicly, on investment, and not on safety crises in the Middle East, including the War of Israel in Gaza.
His public diplomacy was limited to a meeting with the new interim chief of Syria after having decided to remove the sanctions against Syria at the request of Saudi Arabia, in a major change in American politics.
The AI agreement is a boost for water, which has tried to balance its relations with its long-standing ally in the United States and its largest trading partner China.
He reflects the Trump administration’s confidence that fleas can be managed safely, in part by demanding that data centers be managed by American companies.
“Yesterday, the two countries also agreed to create a path for water to buy some of the most advanced AI semiconductors in the world from American companies, a very big contract,” said Trump.
“This will generate billions and billions of dollars in business and will accelerate the plans of the United Arab Emirates to become a really major player in artificial intelligence,” he added.
The new transactions announced with water, totaling more than $ 200 billion, included a commitment of $ 14.5 billion in Etihad Airways to invest in 28 American manufacturing boeing aircraft.
The water investment commitment was announced during a presentation by the Sultan Al Jaber, the director general of DNOC of the Energy Giant of the State of Abu Dhabi, one of the many enormous financial promises that Trump has drawn from water, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The value of the company of water investments in the American energy sector will have increased to $ 440 billion by 2035, against $ 70 billion now, Al Jaber told Trump, adding that US energy companies will also invest in water.
“Our partners have committed new investments worth 60 billion dollars in oil and gas upstream, as well as new unconventional opportunities,” said Jaber before a slide showing water projects under the logos of US companies Exxonmobil, Oxy and Eog Resources.
XRG, the international add -in -law branch of international investment, seeks to make a significant investment in American natural gas, Jaber, who is also the executive president of XRG and Minister of Industry and Advanced Technologies, said.
The lifting of American sanctions against Syria paved the way for an agreement announced on Friday between the Syrian government and DP World, based in Dubai, said the Syrian press agency on Friday. The two parties signed a memorandum of understanding worth $ 800 million to develop the port of Tartere de Syria.
Trump said that he had not consulted Ally Israel, a long -standing enemies of Syria, on the American decision to recognize the new Syrian government, despite a deep Israeli suspicion of the administration of Islamist president Sharaa.
“I did not question them about it. I thought it was the right thing to do. I was given a lot of credit for having done it. Listen, we want Syria to succeed,” Trump told the journalists on the Air Force One, shortly after his departure from Abu Dhabi.
Trump urged Sharaa to establish links with Israel and join the Abraham agreements, standardization agreements between Israel, water, Bahrain and Morocco negotiated by the United States during his first mandate.
Trump said on Friday that Iran had the proposal of his administration for a nuclear agreement and knows that she had to move quickly, one day after declaring that Washington and Tehran were close to a nuclear agreement.
“They have an even more important proposal, they know that they have to move quickly or something bad – something bad will happen,” Trump told journalists.
