What happened
President Donald Trump said a newly signed U.S.-Saudi nuclear energy agreement will not proceed unless Riyadh normalizes relations with Israel, making the nuclear pact contingent on a goal long pursued by Washington and Jerusalem. U.S. officials say the deal could eventually allow uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, a capability critics warn could weaken proliferation safeguards in the Middle East. Democrats criticized the agreement as a proliferation risk, while Republicans argued it could deepen a regional partnership; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saudi Arabia should not acquire a nuclear bomb.
