The United States loosened export controls on the United Arab Emirates on Friday, making it easier to export military items, commercial satellites, and AI chips.

The Department of Commerce announced the change, though the move has raised concerns among some Democratic lawmakers about potential ties between UAE entities and U.S. political interests.

This policy shift could deepen technology and defense cooperation between Washington and Abu Dhabi while intensifying scrutiny over export oversight.
