As criticism mounts over the Donald Trump administration’s AI chip deals with Gulf states, David Sacks and Sam Altman are pushing back, calling the partnerships a strategic win over China.
What Happened: Trump announced multibillion-dollar AI partnerships between U.S. companies and Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The deals involve major players like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM).
Despite concerns from lawmakers about potential Chinese access to U.S. AI chips via Gulf allies, Sacks, a tech investor and White House AI advisor, defended the initiative in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“I’m genuinely perplexed how any self-proclaimed ‘China Hawk’ can claim that President Trump’s AI deals with UAE and Saudi Arabia aren’t hugely beneficial for the United States,” Sacks wrote.
