Trump ties Saudi civil nuclear deal to joining Abraham Accords
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that a proposed civil nuclear agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia would be approved only if the kingdom joins the Abraham Accords.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the agreement, between the US Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, would cover only civilian nuclear activities and would not permit uranium enrichment.
“The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) … will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote.
He added that the United States was not opposed to civilian nuclear facilities that do not involve uranium enrichment.
