Trump Submits Saudi Civil Nuclear Agreement to US Congress with Israel Normalization Condition
US President Donald Trump has submitted a 30-year civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress for review, requiring Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords for the deal to proceed. The classified agreement, signed by US and Saudi energy officials, allows US companies to export civilian nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. Congress has 90 session days to consider the pact, which has raised concerns about regional nuclear proliferation and diplomatic implications in West Asia.
