Trump approves deal between US, Saudi Arabia for nuclear programme | What it means
President Donald Trump approved a US-Saudi agreement allowing Saudi Arabia to develop a civilian nuclear programme.
The 30-year deal is worth tens of billions of dollars and is expected to be formalised on July 22, 2026.
The accord gives American companies a central role in the Saudi nuclear programme to prevent misuse.
The deal faces US congressional backlash due to concerns about nuclear technology in the West Asia region.
Critics note a contradiction as the US limits Iran's nuclear programme while aiding Saudi enrichment, but Trump officials say effective safeguards avoid conflict.
