UAE investing $1.4T in USA

22 March 2025, 16:50

Seems our new friends in the UAE are investing $1.4 trillion in the US over the next few years. Trump and Vance had a dinner to announce this over the last couple of days.

And silly old me thought everyone in the UAE hates American and Trump…. But no so much as to invest here.

And silly old me thought the UAE only wanted to invest in Gaza…building new condos for Hamas…. May not get the return on that investment as they will in the USA…

Anyway, Gaza will / should be taken over by Israel and the USA seeing as how no other countries will step up or step into that mess.

At the end of it, it is always “follow the money” to see where the real motives are….

We welcome the investment in a truly free economy run by the citizens and not the few in the government.

If UAE sees that kind of return on investment, why are our oil companies doing buy-backs and dividends instead of investing in their business? Are they that much smarter (or have better information?).

buybacks drive the stock price higher, especially of that stock unit is retired, making more people more happy about their investments - conversely, a stock buyback then becomes treasury stock, which is NOT a GAAP asset, it's a contra equity stock .. well, here, read this

then dividends also make more people buy more stock which drives the price up, making share holders happier, and treasury stock doesn't get a dividend payment NOR is counted in EPS

White House thanks UAE for agreeing to 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework
'The UAE remains committed to strengthening its economic ties with the U.S.,' HH Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan wrote on X

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has agreed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework, the White House announced on Friday, saying it will "substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy." The White House said the investments would be in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, American manufacturing and more.

The White House said in a press release that the UAE agreed to the framework after President Donald Trump hosted the UAE National Security Advisor, HH Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for a meeting in the Oval Office.

The sheikh thanked Trump for "the warm welcome and hospitality" in a post on X. He said their discussions focused on the future of U.S.-UAE relations.

"The UAE remains committed to strengthening its economic ties with the U.S. by accelerating investments in artificial intelligence, advanced technology, infrastructure, energy, and healthcare – key pillars for sustainable growth and development," Sheikh Tahnoon added.

According to the White House, investments in the framework include Abu Dhabi-based MGX, BlackRock, Microsoft and Global Infrastructure Partners working with NVIDIA and xAI to support "U.S. AI leadership." The group will mobilize up to $100 billion to support the build-out. Additionally, Emirates Global Aluminum is expected to invest in America’s first new aluminum smelter in 35 years.

"These significant investments underscore the close ties between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, and the strong relationship between President Trump and President Sheikh Mohamed," the White House wrote.

While in D.C., Sheikh Tahnoon met with several members of the Trump administration, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

Trump also wrote about the meeting in a post on Truth Social, saying, "UAE and the U.S. have long been partners in the work to bring peace and security to the Middle East and the world. Discussions also included ways for our countries to increase our partnership for the advancing of our economic and technological futures."

Saeed,
We've seen the spin put on this by Fox News. Maybe you could show us your take on this, in the interest of education.
Is the UAE investing heavily in Donald Trump's America? Is the Royal Family all in on this or is there some dissent?
Is Donald Trump widely seen as a valuable and trustworthy trading partner, in the UAE?
Are you, in reality, a fan of the President and his policies? Seriously (well, mostly seriously) curious, Bill.

We have ALWAYS had great relations with America!

Nothing new here.

I personally lived in America for a while.

Never met a single American I did not get on well with.

Some I am still in contact with.

We have become lifelong friends.

I don’t like politics.

And some here keep telling me how I hate America.

If that same rule is applied to Americans, then EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN HATES AMERICA!

Half the population is on one side, the other half is on the other.

Then you get a deranged geriatric president been replaced by a mentally bankrupt coward, with his boyfriend from South Africa pulling the strings!

Even Hollywood couldn’t make this up!
