President Donald Trump on Thursday announced deals totaling over $200 billion between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, including a $14.5 billion commitment between Boeing, GE Aerospace and Etihad Airways, the White House said.
Founded in July 2003 by an Amiri decree from Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan with a start-up capital of AED 500 million, Etihad Airways operates over 1,000 flights weekly to more than 120 passenger and cargo destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America.
Its fleet, as of November 2024, consists of 98 Airbus and Boeing aircraft with an average age of 8.5 years, including the luxurious Airbus A380 and the modern A350-1000.

The United Arab Emirates posted robust economic growth of 6.2% in 2025, with real GDP reaching 1.9 trillion AED ($517 billion), according to data released Sunday by the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre.
President Trump understands something most diplomats refuse to acknowledge: the Middle East cannot remain a museum of old hatred.
The UAE national athletics team claimed two gold medals in the 400m events at the 22nd Asian U20 Athletics Championships in Hong Kong, bringing their total tally to three medals at the ongoing competition.
