Trump said on Friday the UAE and the US had agreed to create a path for Emirates to buy some of the most advanced AI semiconductors from US companies, a major win for Abu Dhabi's efforts to become a global AI hub.

The US leader pledged on Thursday to strengthen US ties with the UAE, announcing deals totalling over $200 billion, including a $14.5 billion commitment from Etihad Airways to invest in 28 American-made Boeing aircraft.

Trump earlier visited the Abrahamic Family House after addressing business leaders at a UAE-US business council roundtable at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi.

Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, along with senior officials accompanied Trump on a guided tour of the landmark complex and its three houses of worship.
