UAE-US partnership shaping AI

The 2025 Commerce Department trade figures tell a clear story: the US–UAE economic partnership is accelerating.

UAE–US trade increased by 13.3% in 2025, reaching $39 billion in total bilateral trade.

The US recorded a trade surplus of over $23.8 billion, with the UAE remaining America’s top MENA trading partner since 2009 and fourth largest globally.

Exports to the UAE have supported over half a million US jobs between 2023-2025

The US jobs supported by exports figure is derived using export data from the US Census Bureau and sector-specific employment multipliers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) within the US Department of Commerce.
