Trump Announces $200 Billion in US-UAE Agreements During UAE Visit

Dubai and the USA are entering a new chapter of strengthened economic cooperation. The state visit of President Donald Trump to the UAE marked a defining moment in the strategic alliance between the two nations. 

The announcement of over $200 billion in new commercial agreements, alongside a broader $1.4 trillion investment framework, highlighted the growing depth of their economic, technological, and diplomatic engagement.

This advancement opens substantial opportunities for investors, with the enhanced collaboration set to stimulate growth across various emerging industries. Notably, the real estate sector stands to gain considerably from the influx of increased foreign investment.

The visit, held at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi and hosted by President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, signified the strength of the longstanding partnership between the UAE and the USA.

Among the commercial deals unveiled, several stand out for their scale and strategic importance:

Etihad Airways committed $14.5 billion to purchase 28 Boeing 787 and 777X aircraft powered by GE engines, further cementing the UAE’s strong commercial aviation ties with the United States.

Emirates Global Aluminium announced a $4 billion investment to develop a primary aluminium smelter in Oklahoma one of the first major aluminium production facilities in the US in nearly five decades.

A $60 billion collaboration between ADNOC and US energy firms ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum, and EOG Resources will significantly expand oil and natural gas production capacity.

A landmark $10 billion agreement, with an additional $20 billion allocated for future projects, was signed between Holtec International and IHC to develop a fleet of small modular nuclear reactors starting at Michigan’s Palisades site.

Qualcomm’s new Global Engineering Centre in Abu Dhabi will advance innovation in artificial intelligence, industrial IoT, and data infrastructure in collaboration with ADIO and e&.

A pioneering Gallium project, led by RTX and UAE-based entities, will help stabilise the US critical minerals supply chain—an essential step in maintaining technological competitiveness.

In a significant advancement for digital transformation, Amazon Web Services, e&, and the UAE Cybersecurity Council announced the launch of the Sovereign Cloud Launchpad, designed to accelerate the adoption of cloud services across the region. This initiative is projected to add $181 billion to the UAE’s digital economy by 2033 and will include the establishment of a new cybersecurity technology innovation centre.

Among the most notable achievements of the visit was the inauguration of the 5GW UAE-US AI Campus in Abu Dhabi, marking the largest AI infrastructure project outside the United States. Developed by G42 with support from leading US technology firms, the campus will deliver essential compute resources to advance AI development throughout the Global South. 

Utilizing a blend of nuclear, solar, and gas energy, the facility is poised to become a hub of sustainable innovation, complete with a dedicated science park aimed at accelerating AI research and its practical applications.

This monumental project forms part of the newly established US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership, a framework that aims to deepen bilateral collaboration in emerging technologies such as quantum computing, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation energy systems.

During the visit, President Trump was awarded the Order of Zayed, the UAE’s highest civilian honour, in recognition of his efforts to elevate bilateral ties.
