Lawsuits under the Convention count as arising under U.S. law and treaties. Federal district courts have original jurisdiction over these cases. This applies no matter how much money is at stake.

A lawsuit or legal action that falls under "the Convention" (an international treaty on arbitration) is treated as arising under U.S. laws and treaties. Federal district courts — including the courts listed in section 460 of title 28 — have original jurisdiction over these cases. This is true no matter how much money the case involves.
