As Donald Trump's 'historical' golf state deals, a handful of mighty men benefit | Donald Trump

On his tour through the Middle East this week, Donald Trump announced a number of tech deals of several million dollars with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatars. With the sale of the most advanced technology in the United States, he also sold the American model in the industry that made it: enormous amounts of power concentrated in the hands of some men.

The announcements were arrived last week: the United States and the United Arab Emirates agreed on Abu Dhabi as the place of the largest campus for artificial intelligence outside the USA. According to the VAE, the deal reports to import half a million Nvidia neck ladder chips, which are considered the most advanced in the world for creating artificial intelligence products. Saudi -Arabia completed a similar deal for semiconductors and received the promise of the sale of hundreds of thousands of Nvidia Blackwell chips to Humain, a KI startup that belongs to his sovereign wealth fund. Cisco said it signed a contract with a VAE AI company to develop the country's AI sector. The agreements also directed some investments of Saudi companies in the US technology and production. Amazon Web Services and Qualcomm also announced offers for cloud computing and cyber security.

The agreements were remarkable for several reasons. Trump was the chief bearer and brought a retinue of dozens of CEOs to the Middle East, including Jensen Huang von Nvidia, Sam Altman von Openaai, Elon Musk, Andy Jassy from Amazon, Alex Karp von Palantir and two dozen others.

These managers have negotiated their business of Gulf Country leaders. Many of these agreements broke out with the guidelines of the administration of Joe Biden, which imposed on the sale of the state's most modern technology in the United States. Biden ban Nvidia and other chip manufacturers to sell their latest goods to powers in the Middle East. It remains to be seen whether the golf states keep the technology for themselves – the enormous data center should be built by an Emirati company, but are managed by American – or in China in a geopolitical backroom.

Despite the uncertainty that had arisen from a few corners, the Trump White House emphasized three press releases in which the President had secured “historical investment obligations” that were secured in the trillions of the three oil -rich nations as a whole. A section of a fact sheet was mentioned: “Never tired of winning.”

The offers significantly enrich the Tech CEOs by opening new target groups for their products. These are the same men at the head of AI development, and Trump's use of them as a replacement seems to spread the American model of technological power in new places.

Also noteworthy throughout the trip: Elon Musk has shown that he still has a significant impact on the White House. The richest person in the world may have weakened by Doge's state cost reduction project, but there he was again next to the president.

Musk's presence on the trip, however, had less to do with AI than with Altman or Huang. His value for the President's business was his power over global internet connectivity. Starlink, the satellite internet in Musks SpaceX, which controls more than half of the satellites that creeps up the earth, has set an agreement on the use of maritime and aviation in Saudi Arabia. There he goes again: his Tesla Optimus robots have led a dance for Trump and the Saudi crown prince into the melody of YMCA.
