Trump Backs Massive Middle East AI Hub to Counter China

William Attardi on May 28, 2025

President Donald Trump has signed off on a major agreement with the United Arab Emirates to build the largest artificial intelligence campus outside the United States. The agreement marks a sharp turn from the Biden-era policy, which limited chip exports to nations seen as too close to China. At the center of the pact is a 10-square-mile AI campus in Abu Dhabi, backed by 5 gigawatts of power—enough to support around 2.5 million of Nvidia’s flagship B200 chips………… The U.S. Commerce Department called the initiative the largest AI infrastructure project to date. UAE state-linked firm G42 will construct the site, but American companies will operate it and provide U.S.-managed cloud services across the region. The White House said the UAE has committed to building or financing equivalent data centers in the U.S., while also aligning its national security policies with American standards.  The project signals a deepening U.S. presence in Middle East tech infrastructure and a possible new chapter in global AI competition.  Trump Backs Massive Middle East AI Hub to Counter China – Newsweek

National Football League – American football began as a hybrid of soccer and rugby on post-Civil War college campuses. Football was wildly popular but disorganized in the early 1900s. In an effort to standardize and organize, the National Football League was formed in 1920 in Canton, Ohio.  The NFL is the premier professional organization for American football, with 32 teams in two conferences and almost 1,700 active players. In 2023, the NFL generated nearly $20B in revenue. With its teams valued at $190B combined, it is the most valuable sports league in the world. The popularity of the NFL has made it a global sport. In 2002 the NFL began featuring fantasy games on its site.  The NFL is the most valuable sports league in the world.  NFL teams are worth a total of $163B. Each team holds an average value of over $5.1B, almost as much as the NBA and MLB combined. The Dallas Cowboys, valued at $9B, are the most valuable sports franchise on Earth. (NY Yankees are at 8.2B….just saying).
