Trump Sends Classified Saudi Civil Nuclear Pact to Congress, Ties Approval to Israel Normalisation
The Trump administration has forwarded a classified 123 civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to the U.S. Congress for the statutory 90‑day review period. The deal, signed by Energy Secretary Chris Wright and his Saudi counterpart, would span 30 years and involve U.S. firms in a joint study, but President Trump has said it will not proceed unless Riyadh joins the Abraham Accords. Lawmakers have voiced concerns about potential proliferation, while Saudi officials say any Israel‑normalisation must be linked to a clear path for Palestinian statehood.
