Trump said Qatar will invest $10 billion into the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base and confirmed $42 billion in Qatari defense deals during his Gulf tour, according to Reuters. The trip has yielded multiple high-value agreements, including Qatar Airways' planned purchase of 210 Boeing jets, a $600 billion Saudi pledge to invest in the U.S., and $142 billion in U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia. In the UAE, Trump is expected to discuss AI and national security concerns over a pending deal allowing the UAE to import 500,000 of Nvidia's most advanced AI chips annually under a preliminary agreement. The deal aims to bolster UAE data center infrastructure and may still face scrutiny from U.S. officials wary of technology transfers to China.
