The Trump administration has signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, allowing American companies to operate nuclear power plants there. This deal gives U.S. companies priority in supplying reactors and fuel to Saudi Arabia’s nuclear program. However, the agreement does not include strict measures to prevent Saudi Arabia from enriching uranium or using nuclear fuel from other countries, nor does it require increased oversight from the International Atomic Energy Agency. This development has caused concern in the Middle East, particularly in Israel, due to fears of a potential nuclear arms race. Meanwhile, House Republicans have passed significant legislation, including a $1.1 trillion defense bill and a $95 billion budget plan, which now await Senate approval.
