US submits Saudi civil nuclear agreement to Congress, tied to Israel normalization
President Donald Trump has submitted a US-Saudi civilian nuclear agreement to Congress for review, but the administration says it will not proceed unless Saudi Arabia normalizes relations with Israel.
US President Donald Trump has submitted to Congress an agreement with Saudi Arabia aimed at supporting the kingdom's civilian nuclear program, according to a Trump administration official, a congressional aide, and two others familiar with the matter. The classified document was sent to Capitol Hill on Monday as required by the Atomic Energy Act. The agreement was signed last month in Washington by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and his Saudi counterpart. The next day, Trump announced he was insisting that the agreement would not move forward if Saudi Arabia does not normalize relations with Israel. All sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the classified matter.
