World
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a long-term agreement to support Saudi Arabia's peaceful nuclear program. According to The Wall Street Journal, the proposed deal involves investments worth tens of billions of dollars and could become one of the largest U.S.–Saudi cooperation projects in the field of civilian nuclear energy.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump has formally authorized the 30-year agreement. The deal provides for investments of tens of billions of dollars to develop Saudi Arabia's nuclear infrastructure, with U.S. companies expected to play the leading role in implementing the project.
One of the agreement's key provisions is the potential construction of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia. The newspaper reports that the project would move forward only if both parties determine that such a step is justified.
The agreement is expected to be submitted to the U.S. Congress for consideration in the coming days. Once the legislative review is completed, the project could proceed to the next stage of implementation.
The initiative is aimed at supporting the development of Saudi Arabia's civilian nuclear energy sector while expanding bilateral cooperation in advanced technologies and energy infrastructure. So far, the final financial terms of the agreement and the implementation mechanisms for individual projects have not been publicly disclosed.
