ABU DHABI: US President Donald Trump arrived Thursday in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates’ capital, on the final stop of his multi-day Gulf tour, AFP journalists on Air Force One said.

After visits to Saudi Arabia and Qatar this week, Trump is hoping to secure billions of dollars in business deals with the UAE that seeks to become an artificial intelligence hub.

The US has a preliminary agreement with the UAE to allow it to import 500,000 of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips a year, starting this year, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

The deal would boost the UAE’s construction of data centres vital to developing artificial intelligence models.
