Bible Verses of the Day

17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. [Romans 14:17-19, ESV]

President Trump announced multibillion-dollar AI deals between U.S. companies and Gulf countries this week even as many in Washington continue to fear that China could gain backdoor access to advanced AI chips and worry that critical AI infrastructure could end up based outside the U.S.

The president loves big deals with big numbers. Tech interests close to Trump want to see U.S. AI firms win global business. But China hawks in both parties distrust the Gulf states, which have close trade ties with China. The dealmaking flurry comes after the White House last week scrapped Biden administration rules limiting AI chip exports.

On Thursday, the Department of Commerce announced a "UAE/U.S. Framework on Advanced Technology Cooperation," which includes "the launch of a 1GW AI data center, part of a planned 5GW UAE-US artificial intelligence technology cluster in Abu Dhabi to support regional computation demand ... while meeting robust US security standards and other efforts to responsibly deploy AI infrastructure, both in the UAE and globally."
