The US is set to approve chip sales to Saudi Arabia's Humain, according to a report.

People familiar with the deal told Bloomberg that the deal was expected to be finalized maybe as soon as this week as part of a broader series of agreements following a meeting between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and President Donald Trump.

An anonymous source said that the volume of approvals was expected to be in the tens of thousands of semiconductors.

Any shipments of American chips to Saudi Arabia require approval from Washington.

This would be a victory for Humain. In May, the company announced that it would buy 18,000 Nvidia GB300 chips with “several hundred thousand” more on the way, as well as securing deals with Qualcomm and Groq. According to Humain CEO Tareq Amin, the company aims to deploy 400,000 chips by 2030.

But the lack of approval from Washington has meant that the company has so far been building data centers without any guarantee of chips.

The deal, if finalized, would serve as a rebuke to concerned observers who have opposed the chip sale, citing concerns about the Kingdom’s human rights record and its close relationship with China.

Key policy advisors, including AI czar David Sacks, and the chip companies themselves have argued that the diffusion of chips to key allies would bind them closer to the US.

Several people with knowledge of the accord have told Bloomberg that the agreement would contain security provisions, but their exact terms were not specified.

Humain is a subsidiary of the country’s Public Investment Fund, and its CEO, Amin, was the former head of Aramco Digital.
