Trump Approves US Saudi Civil Nuclear Energy Agreement, Officials Say The White House has approved an agreement allowing US companies to partner with Saudi Arabia on developing its civil nuclear energy program.
The deal is valued at tens of billions of dollars and spans 30 years, marking a significant commitment from both parties.
Critics argue that by partnering with Saudi Arabia on nuclear energy development, the United States is effectively leaving the door open for the Kingdom to enrich uranium domestically – a prospect that raises alarm bells about nuclear proliferation.
