WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Commerce

Department said on Wednesday it has authorized the export of

advanced American semiconductors - the equivalent of up to

35,000 NVIDIA Blackwell chips - to two companies in

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The two companies are G42, which is a state-run AI company

based in Abu Dhabi, and Humain, which is a Saudi

government-backed AI venture.

"Both companies are receiving approvals to purchase the

equivalent of up to 35,000 Nvidia Blackwell chips (GB300s)," the

Commerce Department said in a statement.
