Strong trade partnerships are set to soar with US President Donald Trump’s visit to the UAE.

Mr Trump is in Abu Dhabi for two days on the final leg of a milestone tour of the Gulf – his first
overseas visit since he took office in January.

The UAE government has said the presidential visit strengthens the strategic partnership and
reflects a commitment on both sides to build on long-term economic relations.

“The UAE and the United States share historical and strategic relations built on friendship and
mutual understanding,” Abdulla bin Touq, Minister of Economy, told state news agency Wam.

“The visit reinforces the UAE’s position as an influential global economic hub and supports the
achievement of sustainable economic and social development.”

He said the visit reflected the UAE leadership's vision to strengthen partnerships with the US.
Trade is high on the agenda of the two-day visit to Abu Dhabi with announcements expected to

cover investments in clean energy, artificial intelligence, sustainable industrial development and
advanced technology.

Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, spoke of efforts to boost trade ties
further and grow the partnership to scale new heights of prosperity.
