Trump sends Saudi nuclear deal to Congress, keeps Israel normalisation as condition

The United States has submitted a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress. This pact will only proceed if Riyadh agrees to normalize relations with Israel. Congress has ninety days to review the proposed thirty-year agreement for potential nuclear proliferation concerns. The deal facilitates US companies' involvement in Saudi Arabia's nuclear program development. Saudi Arabia's stance on Palestinian statehood remains a significant hurdle for normalization.
