Washington and Riyadh reach historic deal
U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a historic deal with Saudi Arabia that grants the kingdom a 30-year civilian nuclear program, including the construction of a uranium enrichment facility within Saudi Arabia in cooperation with American companies, while excluding foreign competitors. The agreement will be referred to Congress for review in the coming days, and its ratification requires a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The deal aims to strengthen U.S.-Saudi relations, stimulate the American nuclear industry, and provide Saudi Arabia with a domestic energy source to reduce its reliance on oil. Saudi Arabia intends to use the program to meet its energy needs, with the possibility of developing a nuclear weapon if Iran develops one.
