Trump Secures Massive Decade-Long Investment After Meeting with UAE [WATCH]

The White House announced Friday that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework with the United States following high-level meetings with President Donald Trump and members of his administration earlier in the week.

According to a White House official who spoke with Reuters, the agreement will significantly expand the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S., focusing on sectors including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing.

The agreement was formalized during a meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday between President Trump and UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed.

Later that evening, Vice President JD Vance and several Cabinet members hosted a dinner with the UAE delegation, which included senior leaders from sovereign wealth funds and major corporations in the region.

One of the major initiatives under the new framework includes a partnership between UAE investment fund ADQ and U.S.-based Energy Capital Partners.

The two entities announced a $25 billion plan to invest in U.S. energy infrastructure and data center development, the White House official said.

In a statement posted on Truth Social following the meeting, President Trump praised the growing relationship between the two nations.

“The evening demonstrated the long-standing ties and bonds of friendship between our countries,” Trump wrote.

“UAE and the U.S. have long been partners in the work to bring peace and security to the Middle East and the World. Discussions also included ways for our countries to increase our partnership for the advancing of our economic and technological futures.”

The investment framework includes long-term commitments designed to bolster both nations’ economic cooperation, with an emphasis on strategic technology and energy sectors.

In addition to the ADQ-Energy Capital Partners deal, Reuters also reported that XRG, the international investment arm of the UAE’s state oil company ADNOC, has pledged support for U.S. natural gas exports.

This includes investment in the NextDecade liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Texas, according to the White House official.

The announcement comes as President Trump nears the end of his second month back in office.

The administration has placed a strong focus on revitalizing domestic industry, strengthening strategic alliances, and encouraging foreign investment into American infrastructure and advanced technologies.

Officials say the UAE investment aligns closely with the administration’s economic goals, particularly in boosting U.S. manufacturing and expanding critical energy infrastructure.

The White House emphasized that the investment framework is intended to span a full decade and will support job creation and development projects across multiple U.S. states.

While specific state-level projects have not yet been named, administration officials indicated that follow-up discussions are underway to begin deployment of the capital.

The deal is being seen by the administration as a key example of U.S. global leadership in innovation and energy development, and a reflection of strong bilateral relations with Gulf nations committed to regional stability and shared economic goals.
