Trump Has Set A New Condition For Saudi Arabia

One day after the nuclear agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington will not implement the civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia until the kingdom agrees to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords.

This was reported by CNN.

According to Trump, the agreement is “entirely contingent” on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. This position was also confirmed by White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, who emphasized that the requirement to normalize relations with Israel is in line with the U.S. president’s previous statements.

As is known, the day before, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Energy, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, signed an agreement on civil nuclear cooperation.

The document paves the way for the development of Saudi Arabia’s nuclear energy sector using American technology. At the same time, it must undergo a 90-day review by the U.S. Congress and also provides for a two-year technical and economic feasibility study of the project.

One of the most contentious issues has been Saudi Arabia’s capacity to enrich uranium. Trump stated that the program would be exclusively peaceful in nature and would not involve the production of materials for nuclear weapons.

At the same time, experts point out that certain provisions of the agreement have raised concerns due to potential risks to the nuclear non-proliferation regime.

Normalization of Relations Between Saudi Arabia and Israel

The publication notes that the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel remains a complex issue. Riyadh has repeatedly stated that it is not ready to take such a step without substantial progress toward the creation of a Palestinian state.

Following the war between Israel and Hamas and the escalation of tensions in the Middle East, the prospects for such a scenario have become even more uncertain.

Abraham Accords

More specifically, The Abraham Accords are agreements on the normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries, concluded with U.S. mediation in 2020. They provide for the establishment of diplomatic relations and the development of economic cooperation.

Under these agreements, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan have established diplomatic relations with Israel.

Washington views Saudi Arabia’s potential participation as one of the most important steps toward expanding this process.
