Senate Vote on US-Saudi Nuclear Deal
The administration of President Donald Trump has faced congressional pressure to vote on a resolution rejecting the civilian nuclear agreement reached between the United States and Saudi Arabia, due to concerns over the potential spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. A coalition led by Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley and both parties is spearheading this effort, while some oppose the absence of an explicit ban on domestically enriching uranium and reprocessing spent fuel—standards that previous regional agreements committed to. The committee will hold a vote before December 13, and the administration has reaffirmed its commitment to international controls and standards to prevent nuclear proliferation.
