Trump's Middle East tour underscores a significant shift in U.S. geopolitical strategy emphasizing AI technology as a new tool of power. The recent decision to rescind the Biden-era 'AI diffusion rule' facilitates U.S. AI chip exports, reshaping international partnerships. This change opens up markets for American firms like Nvidia and anticipates increased investment in AI data center infrastructure in the region. Trumpâs visit, marked by substantial U.S.-Saudi investment agreements, signals an aggressive push to compete with China in the AI landscape while enhancing U.S. ties in the Middle East.
The Trump Commerce Department announced plans to rescind Biden's 'AI diffusion rule', which restricted the export of the most powerful AI chips to other countries.
Trump announced a series of U.S.-Saudi investment deals, including a partnership between Nvidia and Humain, a newly formed Saudi AI firm backed by the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund.
