UAE, United States: Historic ties propelling

partnership towards bright future

Published Thursday, May 15, 2025 By WAM

Marking nearly half a century of robust and evolving diplomatic relations, the visit of the President of the United States Donald Trump to
the United Arab Emirates underscores a pivotal moment in the enduring strategic partnership between the two nations.

The visit is strategically designed to deepen bilateral cooperation across a spectrum of vital sectors, advancing the mutual aspirations
of the two nations for development and shared prosperity. This significant occasion is further contextualised by the UAE's position as
the United States' foremost trading partner in the Middle East and North Africa, as reported by the Ministry of Economy.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the visit as a "historic return to the Middle East". Analysts view Trump’s choice
of the Gulf as his first stop once again as a reaffirmation of the region’s critical role across various domains.

Bilateral diplomatic relations were established shortly after the formation of the UAE in 1971, with the UAE Embassy in Washington
inaugurated in 1974, followed by the opening of the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi the same year.
