Once again, the current administration is taking care of business in a rather epic way.
Especially in terms of the American economy, in which President Donald Trump has achieved a few key victories.
Indeed, as reported by The Hill, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), an oil-rich nation in the Middle East, will invest $1.4T into a 10-year “investment framework” in the United States.
And that framework is seriously designed to augment technological innovation in the United States, further rendering the nation one of the most attractive recipients of federal direct investment (FDI) in the world.
“[The framework] will substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing,” the Trump administration declared.
Without a doubt.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump was sure to further heighten the connection between the United States and one of its top allies in the Middle East.
As many recall, the UAE was one of the most prominent signatories to the Abraham Accords spearheaded by the first Trump administration, and it appears that the “long-standing ties” are set to continue, per Trump.
“Tonight, in the White House, I warmly welcomed UAE National Security Advisor H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan to meetings and a dinner with many notable, senior U.S. officials. The evening demonstrated the long-standing ties and bonds of friendship between our countries,” Trump proclaimed.
Without a doubt.
What is especially helpful is that both the US and UAE appear committed to peace, another clear point of discussion between the two major leaders.
“[The] UAE and the U.S. have long been partners in the work to bring peace and security to the Middle East and the World. Discussions also included ways for our countries to increase our partnership for the advancing of our economic and technological futures,” Trump added.
On its part, the UAE issued similarly high praise for Trump via its own official channels, as evidenced in a formal press release.
“H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon expressed his thanks to the US President for the warm reception and generous hospitality, reflecting the depth of the distinguished relations between the two friendly countries,” the UAE embassy declared.
The UAE also affirmed that the $1.4T would be dedicated to technology and other critical functions in the United States.
“Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed and the US President discussed opportunities to strengthen the long-term strategic partnership between the UAE and the US and explored ways to enhance it to serve their shared interests … His Highness affirmed the UAE’s commitment to strengthening economic ties with the US by expanding partnerships and accelerating investments in key sectors like AI, technology, infrastructure, and healthcare,” the UAE embassy added.
Frankly, the support of the UAE should come as no surprise.
After all, Foreign Policy published a rather telling commentary shortly before the election, making it rather clear that the oil-rich Gulf States had a clear “preference” for Trump over Harris.
“This preference reflects a deeper strategic calculation. Under Trump’s previous administration, the Gulf states enjoyed unprecedented levels of U.S. support, including via arms deals and Washington’s hard-line stance against Iran. Harris’s expected approach to U.S. foreign policy presents a stark contrast. Although the Biden administration has maintained some tough positions on Iran, they are no match for the Trump era,” Foreign Policy reported.
Without a doubt.
Now, if only rabid leftists could see what other world leaders can …
