Trump: Saudi nuclear deal is 'totally subject' to joining the 'very respected Abraham Accords'
U.S. President Donald Trump contradicted reports that the agreement for a civilian nuclear program with Saudi Arabia was unconnected to Saudi-Israeli peace.
"The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities," he added.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had received withering criticism for allowing the deal to go ahead without it being conditioned on a peace agreement, as had been discussed during negotiations over the past few years.
