The Trump administration is set to announce a deal allowing Saudi Arabia greater access to advanced AI chips to boost its data centre capabilities.

The agreement would enable Saudi purchases from top chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD, though final details are still being worked out.

US officials remain concerned that China could access these chips through shipment diversion or cloud-based use.

One discussed option is the US oversight of data centres using American chips to control who can access them.

Talks about data embassies are also underway — these would exempt data centres from local laws and place them under foreign legal jurisdiction to attract tech investment.

This deal is part of a broader push by Trump to expand AI chip sales in the Gulf, signalling a looser stance than the Biden administration’s stricter export controls.
