The UAE has announced plans to invest $1.4tr in the US economy over the next decade, with significant commitments across AI, energy, and industrial sectors. While details of the investment breakdown remain unspecified, several major deals have already been confirmed.
These agreements include Emirates Global Aluminum which is set to develop the first new aluminum smelter in the US in 35 years; ADQ injecting over $25bn into US data centre power supply; and XRG investing in a US-based LNG export facility. In addition, ADQ and Orion Resource Partners have launched a $1.2bn mining partnership to secure critical mineral supplies.
These investments underscore the UAE’s long-term commitment to bolstering US economic growth while expanding its global strategic footprint.
