Trump Greenlights U.S.-Saudi Nuclear Deal That May Let Saudi Arabia Enrich Uranium

President Trump approved a nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia that may allow the country to enrich uranium — the process that can fuel reactors or, at high levels, build bombs, the AP reported on July 22, 2026. Unlike a 2009 U.S.-UAE deal where the UAE gave up enrichment, this pact has no such ban. Congress still must review it.
