Trump Administration Approves 30-Year Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia Allowing Uranium Enrichment
The Trump administration has approved a 30-year nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, enabling the kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear program and potentially enrich uranium domestically. The deal, valued at tens of billions of dollars, positions U.S. companies at the center of Saudi Arabia's nuclear infrastructure development. While supporters highlight strategic and commercial benefits, critics express concerns about the absence of traditional safeguards, such as the IAEA's Additional Protocol, raising fears of nuclear proliferation and regional arms races. The agreement will be submitted to the U.S. Congress for review amid ongoing Middle East tensions.
