UAE commits record $1.4 trillion investment in US following delegation meet with Donald Trump

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday pledged a $1.4 trillion investment in the United States over the next decade, marking one of the largest foreign investment commitments in US history.
The deal, focusing on artificial intelligence, energy, and manufacturing, was finalised after a high-profile meeting between UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed and US president Donald Trump at the White House. The meeting also included vice president Vance and several cabinet members. Sheikh Tahnoon also led a delegation of top executives from UAE sovereign wealth funds and major corporations.
"Following the meeting, the UAE proudly committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States," the statement said.

The investment framework will significantly expand the UAE’s financial presence in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing. A White House statement confirmed that a key focus of the investment will be on artificial intelligence and data infrastructure, with major companies such as BlackRock, Microsoft, and Global Infrastructure Partners partnering with NVIDIA and xAI to mobilise up to $100 billion for next-generation data centres.
The energy sector will also see significant investments. UAE’s ADQ, along with US-based Energy Capital Partners, announced a $25 billion initiative focused on energy infrastructure and data centres. ADNOC-owned XRG is set to invest heavily in US natural gas production and exports, including supporting a major LNG export facility in Texas.
The deal also includes a $1.2 billion mining partnership between ADQ and Orion Resource Partners to secure critical minerals essential for technological advancements. Additionally, Emirates Global Aluminum will invest in the first new aluminum smelter in the US in 35 years, nearly doubling the country’s domestic production.
