​The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States following meetings between top UAE officials and President Donald Trump. This substantial investment aims to enhance the UAE's existing contributions to the U.S. economy, focusing on sectors such as artificial intelligence infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing. ​
