The Trump administration is facilitating a significant deal with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to bolster their artificial intelligence capabilities. The move is part of Washington’s broader strategy to expand American AI technology globally.

Companies like Nvidia and Qualcomm are playing pivotal roles in this initiative. Nvidia secured a billion-dollar deal in Saudi Arabia. Qualcomm is re-entering the data center CPU market through Saudi Arabia’s AI cloud project. Meanwhile, the UAE and U.S. will partner to build the largest AI data center outside the U.S.

Trump’s AI and crypto ‘czar’,David Sacks said the deals were a game changer, that would “help cement American technology as the global standard” before their competitors could.
