U.S. President Donald Trump departed Abu Dhabi on Friday, concluding his visit to the Gulf region with a significant agreement between the United States and the United Arab Emirates.

During the final day of his visit, Trump announced that the UAE and the U.S. had reached a deal allowing the Gulf nation to purchase advanced artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors from American companies. The agreement, finalized on Thursday, marks a pivotal moment in UAE-U.S. relations and further cements the UAE's access to cutting-edge technologies, positioning the country as a leader in the region's technological advancements.

The deal is seen as a major win for the UAE, which has been carefully navigating its complex diplomatic ties with both the U.S., its long-standing ally, and China, its largest trading partner. With the U.S. offering state-of-the-art semiconductor technology, the UAE stands to gain a technological edge in sectors crucial to its future economic growth.

Trump was seen walking across the tarmac with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, gesturing to onlookers before boarding Air Force One, waving to the crowd as he departed. The deal signals continued strengthening of bilateral ties between the two nations, particularly in the realm of technology and trade.
