Trump reverses Saudi nuclear deal quickly
A civilian nuclear agreement was signed between the United States and Saudi Arabia after years of negotiations, aimed at strengthening cooperation in the nuclear field. However, the agreement quickly collapsed following the announcement of a new condition, which required Saudi Arabia to join the "Abraham Accords" that normalize relations with Israel. This condition was unexpected and angered President Trump. The agreement also did not obligate Saudi Arabia to sign the Additional Protocol with the International Atomic Energy Agency, prompting criticism from experts and media outlets, and leading to increased tensions between the U.S. administration and Turkey. The announced modifications allowed Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium in exchange for restrictions on international inspections, raising concerns about nuclear proliferation and the reliability of assurances. The linkage between Saudi's nuclear program and normalization with Israel remains a contentious point, with claims that the recent changes were made under Trump's directives, despite negative reactions from the international community and experts. It is clear that the agreement is headed toward an uncertain path, dependent on complex conditions related to regional security and power balances.
