The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has agreed to a colossal investment in the United States economy over the next 10 years.
The White House announced on Friday that the Gulf nation will “substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy” in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing.
UAE’s total investment will rise to $1.4 trillion over the next 10 years.
As part of the new investment framework, UAE investment fund ADQ and U.S.-based Energy Capital Partners unveiled a $25 billion plan focused on energy infrastructure and data centers.
Meanwhile, XRG, a subsidiary of the state-owned Abu Dhabi oil company, confirmed its commitment to bolstering U.S. natural gas production and exports, with “additional plans to make substantial investments in US assets across gas, chemicals, energy infrastructure and low carbon solutions.”
Emirates Global Aluminum revealed plans to build a new aluminum smelter in the United States, which the White House stated would “nearly double U.S. domestic aluminum production.”
“These significant investments underscore the close ties between the United States and the United Arab Emirates,” the White House noted, proving the “strong relationship” between Trump and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
The investment comes following a successful meeting with UAE’s National Security Advisor H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan and President Trump earlier this week.
“The evening demonstrated the long-standing ties and bonds of friendship between our countries. UAE and the U.S. have long been partners in the work to bring peace and security to the Middle East and the World,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
”Discussions also included ways for our countries to increase our partnership for the advancing of our economic and technological futures.”

The UAE is a major economic power driven by vast oil and gas reserves, particularly in Abu Dhabi, which fund its sovereign wealth funds and infrastructure.
Dubai, meanwhile, has diversified into global finance, trade, tourism, and real estate, making the UAE a key financial hub in the Middle East.
Its hot climate, strategic location and status as a tax haven has also bolstered its global influence, attracting tourists and expats from around the world.
