“UAE’s quest for AI dominance” — is that true? Are they serious?

[Gay State Conservative]

It's my understanding that the Saudis and the UAE are acting far more rationally today than they were even a few years ago. If that's true I think that the West should recognize and reward that rational mindset.

What happened to low oil prices? I hope Trump beings down prices to $20/bbl.

There are a lot of big potential deals on the table with the Gulf Arabs.

-Stopping Iran’s nuclear program and reining in Iranian proxies.

- Major Arab investments into America, and American manufacturing.

- Support of terrorism/undermining the West (looking at you Qatar).

- Normalizing relations with Israel. Resettling Gazans, and/or rebuilding Gaza.

- Arms and technology sales from America.

- Stabilizing Syria and building pipelines from the Gulf to the Med, to bypass Suez Canal fees.

But the 800 lb gorilla in the room, is cornering the oil market. President Trump could levy secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil (over the ongoing invasion of Ukraine), that could allow the Gulf States a windfall profit, by taking nearly all of Russia’s former market share.
