Trump Wins Deals in Middle East as China Eyes Latin America
Host: Dennis Weng U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have had a successful trip to the Middle East —at least from a business perspective — with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar reportedly pledging a total of about US$2.2 trillion in new artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor deals. At the same time, China is expanding its economic ties with Latin America, including in the tech sector. Meanwhile, China’s Huawei is quickly expanding its production of legacy and high-end chips, despite U.S. efforts to block them. Which country is winning the global semiconductor race? What does this mean for Taiwan? And why aren’t U.S. national security officials as thrilled as the business community about Trump’s latest deals? Join us as we discuss Trump’s foreign trip, the Middle East’s AI chip sector, and China’s efforts to protect and grow its own chip industry. Our guests: Mi-Yong Kim - Former U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security Officer Rocky Uriankhai - SciTech Power Research CEO
