Sheikh Tahnoon focuses on advancing tech partnerships with US

His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser, focused on advancing economic and technology ties with the US during his talks with members of the Trump administration on Monday.

During his official visit to the country, Sheikh Tahnoon also met senior executives at tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir, Oracle, BlackRock, NVIDIA and xAI. 

The visit comes as the UAE looks to expand its significant investment footprint in the US and grow its technology partnership with the US in AI, advanced technology, energy, infrastructure, and life sciences. 

Discussions will also look at strengthening the decades-long US-UAE strategic partnership.

"The US remains our key partner in these and other sectors – we have ambitious plans to do even more in and with the US," said UAE’s Ambassador to the US, Yousef Al Otaiba.
