In July 2025, US President Donald Trump announced America’s AI Action Plan, a strategy to accelerate AI innovation, advance data center construction and deploy American technology globally. The plan comes as the UAE invests $1.4 trillion in the US over the next 10 years. These investments, driven in large part by AI and tech, are designed to strengthen American energy and compute infrastructure, create jobs and fuel economic growth.
Why This Matters
As the US works to implement the AI Action Plan, Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba points to the U.S.-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership as a strong model for securely exporting US tech to American allies. The UAE, with longstanding partnerships with leading US tech firms like Microsoft, IBM and OpenAI, is a key collaborator for the US in advancing global technology.
“The UAE welcomes President Trump's AI Action Plan and is ready to fast track our strategic AI partnership with the US first announced during the President's May visit to AbuDhabi… As a trusted partner, we are working closely with leading US companies to adopt and scale American technology in the UAE and beyond.” – Ambassador Al Otaiba
