A multibillion-dollar deal for Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) to supply advanced AI chips to the UAE has been stalled for months, reportedly frustrating CEO Jensen Huang as U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pushes Abu Dhabi to finalize investments before shipments proceed. Nvidia's market cap has reached $4.59 trillion, with shares climbing 58.97% over the past year and advancing 36.61% in 2025 to date. On Thursday, the stock rose 0.91%, according to Benzinga Pro. Deal Faces Unexpected Delays The agreement, announced in May, was meant to showcase the White House's push to expand U.S. tech influence abroad while countering China's AI ambitions. However, the Emirati investments have yet to materialize, baffling some administration officials, reported the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
