Trump conditions U.S.-Saudi nuclear pact on Abraham Accords participation

President Donald Trump said in Washington that the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia will only proceed if the kingdom becomes a party to the Abraham Accords, and that any deal would exclude uranium enrichment activities. The United States and Saudi Arabia had earlier signed a 30-year 123 nuclear cooperation and safeguards pact that gives U. S.

firms priority access to Saudi nuclear projects, pending congressional review. The agreement followed a period in which the Trump administration postponed signing the draft over safeguards concerns and potential congressional opposition, and the president later linked the pact to broader Middle-East normalization efforts.
