What happened

President Donald Trump said the newly signed U.S.-Saudi civilian nuclear agreement will be approved only if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords and normalizes relations with Israel, adding the condition a day after the administration signed the pact. Trump also said the agreement allows only nonmilitary nuclear cooperation and no uranium enrichment, addressing a major unresolved issue in negotiations over Saudi access to U.S. nuclear technology. The Energy Department announced the decades-long, multibillion-dollar cooperation deal Wednesday, and Congress can review it before it takes effect.
