Trump ties Israel normalization to Saudi nuclear deal
A report from Reuters stated that U.S. President Donald Trump sent a proposed agreement to Congress with Saudi Arabia for the development of civilian nuclear energy, on the condition that Saudi Arabia normalizes relations with Israel. The agreement, which was reached in July, stipulates that Saudi Arabia must join normalization treaties with Israel for it to become effective. The deal requires congressional approval within 90 days; if no objections are raised, it will enter into force. However, Trump can exercise a veto if Congress rejects it. This condition is part of Trump’s earlier efforts to secure a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia and link it to normalization agreements with Israel. Some believed that Saudi Arabia was close to normalizing relations in 2023 before regional tensions escalated with the intensification of the Gaza conflict. The deal involves constructing AP1000 nuclear reactors over a 30-year period and benefits companies such as Westinghouse.
