Middle Eastern countries look to become major customers for NVIDIA AI chips as President Trump makes deals in the region. Saudi Arabia plans to purchase thousands of advanced Blackwell Ultra systems through its new AI company, HUMAIN. Jensen Huang, head of NVIDIA, joined Trump during visits to Saudi Arabia, where they announced partnerships. The United Arab Emirates also wants to buy over a million NVIDIA AI processors during the next ten years.
These nations plan to create large data centers using American technology. Saudi firm HUMAIN will spend money on computing power from both NVIDIA and AMD. Trump hopes these deals will reduce American trade reliance on China. Government officials worry about selling advanced technology abroad because it might affect national security. Some fear these chips could eventually reach China despite export rules that aim to keep them away.
