The UAE has pledged a $1.4 trillion, 10-year investment in the U.S. following a meeting between President Trump and Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser, on Wednesday during a dinner banquet held in his honor at the White House, in the presence of senior US officials.This historic commitment, one of the largest foreign direct investments in U.S. history, aims to boost sectors like AI, energy, semiconductors, mining, and manufacturing. Key initiatives include:
- $100 Billion AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP): MGX, BlackRock, Microsoft, GIP, NVIDIA, and xAI will build AI data centers and energy infrastructure.
- $25 Billion Energy and Data Center Initiative: ADQ and Energy Capital Partners will expand U.S. energy and data center infrastructure.
- Natural Gas and LNG Expansion: XRG (ADNOC) will invest in U.S. natural gas, LNG facilities, and low-carbon solutions.
- $1.2 Billion Mining and Critical Minerals Partnership: ADQ and Orion Resource Partners will secure critical minerals for tech and defense.
- First U.S. Aluminum Smelter in 35 Years: Emirates Global Aluminum will build a new smelter, doubling U.S. production capacity.
The deal strengthens U.S.-UAE ties, supports Trump’s manufacturing and energy goals, and is expected to create thousands of jobs while reinforcing U.S. leadership in critical technologies.
