Trump administration slammed for ‘corrupt deal’ with UAE to make AI chips

Donald Trump UAE Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan

The Commerce Department announced a deal granting the United Arab Emirates license-free access to critical U.S. technology , including AI chips.
Critics allege this preferential treatment stems from a UAE royal's investment in a Trump family cryptocurrency company before Trump's inauguration.
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren labeled the change in export controls a "corrupt deal" and called for testimony from Commerce Department officials, citing national security risks.
Concerns were raised that the deal could pose significant national security risks, potentially allowing China access to sensitive American technologies due to G42's past ties with Huawei.
The Trump family has faced scrutiny over its financial ties to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with recent disclosures showing substantial personal earnings from crypto companies linked to Tahnoon.
