President Donald Trump announced that the new “peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement” between the United States and Saudi Arabia, signed on Wednesday, hinges on the Saudis joining the Abraham Accords.
“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.
Saudi Arabia has not yet signed the Abraham Accords, which were brokered by Trump in his first term to establish diplomatic relations between Israel and several surrounding Arab nations. Trump has bolstered the agreement during the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, encouraging countries to sign on to the agreement as the nations broker a peace to the war. The United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Sudan, Bahrain, and Kazakhstan have each signed the agreement with Israel.

“The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities,” Trump added.
The Nuclear agreement signed between the Saudis and the U.S. on Thursday was signed to bolster shared economic and strategic objectives between the two countries, with Energy Secretary Chris Wright saying it would “uphold high standards of nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation, and strengthen Washington’s competitive edge in civil nuclear technology.”
