Trump Administration Approves 30-Year Nuclear Cooperation Deal with Saudi Arabia
The Trump administration has approved a 30-year nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, enabling the kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear program that may include uranium enrichment. The deal positions U.S. companies at the center of Saudi Arabia's nuclear infrastructure and excludes the International Atomic Energy Agency's Additional Protocol, relying instead on bilateral safeguards. While officials emphasize peaceful energy goals, experts and lawmakers express concerns about potential nuclear proliferation risks in the Middle East. The agreement will be submitted to the U.S. Congress for review.
