This commitment follows high-level meetings between UAE officials and President Donald Trump.
The new investment framework will focus on key sectors, including AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing. This move is expected to substantially increase the UAE's presence in the US economy.
According to a White House official, the agreement was reached after a meeting between Trump and UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, as well as a dinner hosted by Vice President JD Vance and several Cabinet members for the UAE delegation.
As part of this framework, UAE investment fund ADQ, in partnership with US-based Energy Capital Partners, announced a $25 billion initiative to invest in energy infrastructure and data centers. Additionally, XRG, the international investment arm of UAE state oil company ADNOC, committed to supporting US natural gas production and exports through an investment in the NextDecade liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas.
The companies involved have plans to make further substantial investments in US assets, spanning gas, chemicals, energy infrastructure, and low-carbon solutions.
