[US Media: Trump Approves 30-Year Nuclear Agreement with Saudi Arabia]
Odaily Planet Daily News – U.S. officials have revealed that President Donald Trump has officially approved a major nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, allowing the kingdom to develop civilian nuclear projects and potentially paving the way for uranium enrichment activities within its borders. The agreement spans 30 years and is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. It aims to ensure that American companies dominate the construction of Saudi Arabia's nuclear infrastructure while excluding other foreign competitors.
One of the key provisions of the agreement stipulates that if joint U.S.-Saudi research deems it necessary, American companies will be responsible for building uranium enrichment facilities in Saudi Arabia. Officials from the Trump administration stated that this move would enable the U.S. to maintain influence over Saudi Arabia's nuclear program and reduce the risk of the technology being used for military purposes.
However, the agreement is expected to be submitted to the U.S. Congress for review in the coming days and may face opposition from some lawmakers. Critics are concerned that, given the volatile situation in the Middle East, the proliferation of nuclear technology could pose significant security risks. (Reported by The Wall Street Journal)
