A New Era in Global Tech and Geopolitics
In May 2025, a pivotal moment unfolded in the Persian Gulf as Donald Trump made headlines during a tour of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. Dubbed “the sale of the century,” this tour resulted in over $2 trillion in deals signed by U.S. companies, marking a dramatic geopolitical shift.
Key Highlights:
- New Trade Corridor: Introduced at the September 2023 G20 Summit, the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC) aims to link India with Europe, countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
- AI & Tech Synergy: Artificial intelligence investments surged in the Gulf as local sovereign wealth funds aligned with U.S. firms like OpenAI, reshaping the tech landscape.
- Privatization of Diplomacy: Trump repurposed IMEC into a privatized corridor, governed by tech firms and sovereign wealth, emphasizing energy, data centers, and resources.
This evolving landscape highlights the convergence of AI, cryptocurrencies, and geopolitics.
