Trump touts US$ 200 bil. deal with UAE which includes AI cooperation

The White House announced on Thursday that the U.S. and the UAE have agreed on 200 billion U.S. dollars worth of deals during President Donald Trump's Middle East trip, including cooperation in the AI sector.

Washington says the two sides agreed on AI cooperation, including a promise to invest in data centers in the U.S.

The U.S. and UAE will partner up on a massive AI campus, which is being touted as the largest such facility outside of the U.S.

The Abu Dhabi data center will have a 5-gigawatt capacity and cover almost 26 square kilometers.

The AI cooperation deal will also allow the Middle Eastern nation to import up to 500-thousand cutting-edge AI semiconductors annually from Nvidia starting this year.
