US approves sale of 70,000 AI chips to UAE and Saudi Arabia

It is reported that the US Commerce Department plans to approve the sale of up to 70,000 advanced AI chips to companies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Under the deal, US companies will be permitted to sell up to 35,000 of NVIDIA Corporation’s GB300 servers or equivalent products to G42, a state-run AI company based in Abu Dhabi, and Humain, a Saudi government-backed AI venture. The GB300 server contains Nvidia’s Blackwell B300 processor, an advanced chip. The approvals come following discussions between President Trump and leaders of both countries, with agreements including security provisions designed to prevent the chips from benefiting China and tech company Huawei. This approval represents a policy shift from earlier in 2025 when some Trump administration officials had rejected exporting directly to state-backed companies due to security concerns.
