The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates graduates everything

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – If the Arab Gulf states keep a popular competition at the present time, President Donald Trump will be the king of the dance party.

The President was received 45 and 47 of the United States with an amazing stir in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates during his 4 -day visit to the region.

In his head, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman destroyed the royal protocol by greeting the president to the airport runway. The Trump procession was linked from Doha Airport in Qatar with brilliant red Timing Electronic inflorescences and passengers on horse appearance. In Abu Dhabi, the UAE leader, Mohammed bin Zayed, was granted his American counterpart, Zayed, the highest civil honor in the country.

As if this was not sufficient, a procession of royal camels, Trump, welcomed the Emir of Diwan, the presidential office in Qatar. Speaking to Qatar, Prince Sheikh Tarim bin Hamad Al Thani, Trump explained that he was impressed.

“As a constructive man, this is an ideal marble,” Trump said, as he was hinting at the walls and columns of the palace. “This is what they call Bever. We appreciate that beauty,” he added. “I haven’t seen such beauty for a long time. In fact, we appreciate it a lot.”

The optics on the Middle East visit to the American leader were strong, as the oldest health exposure to the richest of the region-and how many of the wealth they wanted to spend to deepen their relations with the United States and progress in their economic agendas.

Historical numbers. Qatar and the United States agreed on an “economic exchange” of $ 1.2 trillion; Saudi Arabia promised the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to invest 600 billion dollars In the United States, major projects were signed with the United Arab Emirates, after Abu Dhabi in March Committed to a 10 -year investment framework of $ 1.4 trillion In the United States

There is still some doubt about whether these numbers are realistic, especially during the period of low oil prices and the weakest revenue for raw producers. And some deals, such as the arrangement of the Qatar record from 210 Boeing Jets The weapons agreement in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia worth $ 142 billion with the United States – the largest weapons deal ever – will take decades.

But the message was clear: the Gulf states want to be first in the queue when it comes to partnership with the United States, whether for business, military or technical.

“The Gulf has always improved with the first businessmen, and President Trump is perfectly appropriate,” said Tarik Solomon, a member of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

“It still symbolizes rapid money, great defense, and access to American technology. Therefore, if the comfort of it helps secure a seat on the table of the next world order, the Gulf brings the gold -plated chair.”

Some observers suggested that the three Gulf states compete with each other for Trump’s affection. But many in the region say it is more than a long -term strategy.

“I do not see large economic advertisements as competition between the three countries; rather, they reflect competition with other regions-Europe, for example-for a closer relationship with the American administration,” said Ahmed Rashad, an assistant professor in Abiu in Europe at the Economic Research Forum.

“It seems that economic deals are necessary to increase the attractiveness of the Middle East visit. On the other hand, it appears that the main motivation of the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council cooperation strengthens relations with the United States and secures access to advanced technologies,” Rashad said.

the The Boms feelings were real in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia In particular, as Trump and Muhammad bin Salman praised each other in statements he made during the investment summit in the United States. The event, which was held in Ritz -Carlton, his luxurious pioneering, attended, attended, Dozens of senior American executives Including proverbs Timing Elon Muskand nvidia ‘S Jensen Huang and BlackrockLarry Fink, to name a few.

In the United Arab Emirates, at the same time, Trump and the leader of the Emirati Mohammed bin Zayed praised their personal friendship and an alliance of more than 50 years between their countries. It was the first visit by an American president to the United Arab Emirates since George W. Bush Al -Shekatoum visited in 2008.

The warm body language and mutual compliments that flow free for a flagrant difference in the country’s visits by officials from the Biden administration, which were full of tension.

It seems that the United Arab Emirates is reaping the bonuses from the shift in the approach. Modern reports say The United States has an initial agreement with the United Arab Emirates to allow it to import, for the first time, 500,000 H100 chips in NVIDIA per year – the most advanced chips produced by the American company. This would speed up the ability of Sheikh David in the data centers needed to operate artificial intelligence models.

“Trump’s trip to the Gulf reflects the increasing allocation of political geography,” said Tukf Rahim, the director in 2040, the consultant and author of “Trump 2.5: Introduction”.

“The leaders of the region have responded accordingly, and they put a decorated offer for the visiting president. Hurry and compliments become important to announce deals and the content of deals.”

Rahim pointed out that the longest -term question focuses on the feasibility of investments.

“For example, how many data centers needed? In an attempt to be” the largest “, the expenses may be created by each country already the excessive supply that exceeds demand in certain sectors.”

The pledges that fire on the moon are still the right strategy according to Solomon, the American Chamber of Commerce-whether every dollar comes in the next few years is a matter that can be dealt with later.

“Certainly, many of them are theater,” he said. “But in this region, the indication that ambition is half of the game. Even if it is only 50 % stick, it is still an impressive play.”
