Trump sends 30-year US-Saudi nuclear deal to Congress

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump has submitted a major 30-year nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress for review. Under the deal, U.S. companies would take a leading role in building the kingdom's nuclear infrastructure, and the agreement could potentially allow uranium enrichment on Saudi soil. According to the report, Trump has tied the deal's completion to Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel, a condition that would mark a historic diplomatic breakthrough for the region. The agreement is expected to face significant scrutiny from lawmakers on Capitol Hill, given the sensitivity of nuclear proliferation issues and Saudi Arabia's regional posture. No final approval has been granted, and the deal remains under congressional review.
