[US Plans to Export Hundreds of Thousands of Chips to AI Companies in UAE and Saudi Arabia]

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE from May 13 to 16. On the eve of Trump's departure, sources revealed that the US government is considering an agreement to provide hundreds of thousands of US-designed AI chips to G42, an AI company in the UAE. Informed sources told US media that the Trump administration, in an effort to strengthen relations with the Middle East, has agreed to directly engage in AI chip transactions with Middle Eastern officials. David Sacks, the White House's head of AI and cryptocurrency affairs, is negotiating with G42 and UAE officials to advance an agreement that would allow the company to access US chips under limited regulatory oversight. Some of these chips will be used in G42's collaborative projects with the US company OpenAI, while the rest will be provided directly to G42.
