Trump's Economic Focus on AI, Saudi Investments
President Trump is hoping that artificial intelligence (AI) will help the US economy grow.
Saudi Arabia's leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, promised to invest USD 1 trillion with US companies, mostly in AI.
This is good for the US economy because AI investments are helping to make up for the uncertainty caused by Trump's tariffs.
However, there are some risks because AI companies are using a lot of debt to grow.
Saudi Arabia is investing in AI data hubs and power facilities to help with this growth.
