On his first foreign tour of his second term, Trump oversaw a $200 billion order from Qatar Airways for Boeing jets and a $600 billion investment from Saudi Arabia -- including nearly $142 billion in weapons, which the White House described as the largest-ever arms deal.
In Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Trump was greeted with lavish welcomes and hailed the three Arab leaders.
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed lauded a strong partnership between the two countries that grew under Trump's leadership when he vowed to invest $1.4 trillion in the US economy over 10 years.
On Friday morning, Trump is set to attend a business roundtable and later tour the Abrahamic Family House, according to local media.
In 2020, the UAE normalised ties with Israel as part of the US-brokered Abraham Accords under Trump's first administration, which also saw Israel establish diplomatic ties with Bahrain and Morocco.
Earlier in the trip, the White House said that Saudi company DataVolt will invest $20 billion in artificial intelligence-related sites in the United States, while tech firms including Google will invest in both countries.
AI ambitions
But Trump said a deal was close on Iran's nuclear programme that would avert military action, sending oil prices tumbling.
English-language Emirati newspaper The National has reported that the US and UAE were working on announcing an AI and tech partnership during Trump's visit.
But these ambitions hinge on access to advanced US technologies, including AI chips that were under stringent, restricted export -- which the UAE president's brother and spy chief Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed reportedly lobbied for during a Washington visit in March.
Earlier this week, Trump rescinded further controls on AI chips, which were imposed by his predecessor to make it harder for China to access advanced technology.
