[US Considering Easing Restrictions on Nvidia's Chip Exports to UAE, Announcement Expected During Trump's Visit]
The US is considering easing restrictions on Nvidia's chip exports to the UAE. Trump may announce the initiation of a bilateral chip deal during his upcoming trip to the Gulf. Sources said that no formal decision has been made yet, emphasizing that debates over semiconductor trade rules involving the UAE and other countries are still ongoing in Washington. However, discussions about revising restrictions on AI chips targeting the UAE have gained increasing support at both the US Department of Commerce and the White House. Any announcement is unlikely to include specific details on how chip access for the UAE will change. Nevertheless, taking a step toward a final agreement would represent a victory for the Gulf nation.
