What could Donald Trump and Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan discuss?
News of Trump’s meeting with the national security adviser had recently surfaced. The two were expected to speak on a range of issues, including increasing Emirati investment in the US, technology and energy. Notably, the UAE wants to buy cutting-edge chips from companies including Nvidia Corp. in an attempt to become a regional powerhouse for artificial intelligence. Abu Dhabi has already provided huge amounts of capital into data centres used to train AI models, but restrictions on exports of advanced chips have reportedly limited the ambitions. The restrictions were put in place under former President Joe Biden back in 2023.
