President Donald Trump of the United States 🇺🇲 has landed in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

During President Donald Trump's visit to Abu Dhabi, UAE, in May 15th 2025, the UAE and the US are expected to discuss and announce additional business deals, particularly in the sectors of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing.

This follows significant agreements made during Trump's previous stops in the Middle East, which have seen the UAE commit to a $1.4 trillion investment in the US economy over the next decade. The potential for further deals is likely as the UAE is already a major trade partner of the US.

Before Trump's arrival in the UAE, the State Department had already announced a $1.4 billion sale of CH-47 F Chinook helicopters and F-16 fighter jet parts to the country. This deal, however, may face scrutiny from lawmakers due to concerns over direct personal business ties with Trump, as his crypto venture has received a $2 billion investment from a UAE-backed investment firm.

John Hannah, a former national security advisor and JINSA senior fellow, suggests that the UAE might have held back some deal announcements to coincide with the president's visit to Abu Dhabi. The UAE's interest in 21st-century technologies and high-end weapons systems provides fertile ground for further collaboration and investment opportunities. Despite the potential for new agreements, the visit is also under the shadow of ethical concerns regarding the intersection of the president's personal business interests with his official duties.
