The artificial intelligence deal reached between U.S. President Trump and Middle Eastern countries has raised concerns among U.S. government officials, who worry that the deal could jeopardize U.S. national security and economic interests. AMD (AMD.US) saw its stock price drop over 1% on Thursday, while NVIDIA (NVDA.US) rose 0.6%.

The U.S. will sell tens of thousands of semiconductors to Saudi Arabia and over one million accelerators for developing artificial intelligence models to the UAE, with U.S. officials concerned that the chips could ultimately benefit China.

There are divisions within the U.S. government on this issue, with some officials believing that these deals are necessary to maintain U.S. dominance in the field of artificial intelligence and to prevent other countries from turning to Chinese products, while others believe the risks outweigh the benefits and are trying to slow down or block the deals
