Trump Touts 1.4 Trillion Investment In AI
After the several massive announcements and deals to come out of Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, developments during the last leg of the US President's Gulf tour in United Arab Emirates actually seem a bit humdrum by comparison. But the visuals and spare no expenses official welcome and ceremonial events have certainly been interesting… ⚡️Trump arrives in the UAE(Don't ask me what's happening) — War Monitor (@WarMonitors) May 15, 2025 Among the more notable statements has been Trump's touting a 1.4 trillion… yes that's trillion … investment in AI and other tech sectors from the Emirates. The White House had previewed this longtime in the works deal as related to artificial intelligence infrastructure, semiconductors, energy and manufacturing. Further, Emirates Global Aluminum will 'invest in the first new aluminium smelter in the United States in 35 years, which would nearly double US domestic aluminium production.' According to more developments out of the UAE: The White House said that Trump and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani signed agreements that would 'generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion'. The agreements are said to include a $96bn deal with Qatar Airways to buy up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aeroplanes, and a statement of intent for $38bn in investments at Qatar's Al Udeid Airbase and other air defence capabilities. A meeting is scheduled for later today of US, Turkish and Syrian officials to discuss details of Trump's announced dropping of sanctions against Syria. Trump's three-country tour of the Gulf state region will conclude in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday. Amid lots of awards ceremonies, accolades, and a state dinner… The President of the United Arab Emirates just gave President Trump a special respect they have for him is unmatched. — George (@BehizyTweets) May 15, 2025 Trump has also been filling in more details of fresh arms deals inked with Qatar. 'Yesterday we signed an agreement for Qatar to purchase $42bn-worth of the finest American military hardware including THAAD missile batteries,' he said Thursday while speaking to US troops at Al Udeid airbase. The commander-in-chief further detailed that the deal includes 'Pegasus refueling aircraft, Desert Vipers, light armored vehicles, amphibious combat vehicles, the MQ-9B and the Sky Guardian drones.' A rare trip to the country's Grand Mosque… By the way, this is the first time the UAE's Grand Mosque has been closed to the public. They did it to show respect for President — George (@BehizyTweets) May 15, 2025 As for Qatar, the president says he's still ready to accept a donated jet from the tiny oil and gas rich country, a flying palace of a future Air Force One, which Dems have been warning would be a violation of the US Constitution's prohibition on foreign gifts. Certainly he'll come back to Washington awaiting immense controversy and backlash from the corporate media and his political enemies.

Israeli Enemy Escalates Gaza Assault on Eid as Tens of Thousands Defy Restrictions at Al-Aqsa
Israeli occupation warplanes intensified their attacks on Gaza on Sunday, the first day of Eid Al-Fitr, causing further devastation and loss of life. In the latest updates, two young girls were martyred when an airstrike hit their family home in Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Younis.

An entire family was killed when Israeli warplanes bombed a tent housing displaced people west of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. — War Monitor (@WarMonitors) March 30, 2025 The Gaza Ministry of Health reported in its daily update that 26 Palestinians were killed and 70 wounded in the past 24 hours. Since March 18, the total death toll has risen to 921, with 2,054 injuries. Overall, since the start of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, the number of casualties has soared to 50,277 killed and 114,095 wounded. Despite severe Israeli occupation restrictions, 120,000 Palestinians performed Eid Al-Fitr prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, March 30. Throughout the holy month of Ramadan, Israeli occupation forces imposed harsh measures that significantly reduced the number of worshippers allowed into the mosque. Eid al-Fitr at Al-Aqsa Mosque! — Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 (@jacksonhinklle) March 30, 2025 Tens of thousands of Palestinians from across the occupied territories defied these restrictions, making their way to the occupied city of Jerusalem in an attempt to assert their right to worship at Islam's third holiest site. Israeli occupation authorities tightened their grip on the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, and Palestinian communities inside 1948 territories, obstructing access to Al-Aqsa Mosque to limit the number of worshippers and reinforce their control over the site. In Gaza, Palestinians performed Eid prayers amid the devastation, gathering at Al-Omari Grand Mosque in Gaza City, despite the mosque suffering partial destruction from Israeli airstrikes. Others prayed in UN-run shelter schools, while some stood among the ruins of their homes, marking the holiday in the shadow of war. 🇵🇸 People in Gaza performed Eid prayer among the rubble of destroyed mosques. — Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 (@jacksonhinklle) March 30, 2025 As Israeli bombardment continues, the number of casualties—including children—has surged overnight, with dozens killed and wounded in relentless attacks across the besieged territory.
