Trump Demands Saudi Nuclear Membership Before US Moves Forward on Civilian Deal

President Donald Trump stated that the United States will not move forward with a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia unless the country joins the Abraham Accords, indicating that membership in the accord is a requirement for the deal to proceed. The Abraham Accords aim to normalize relations between Israel and Arab states, including the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Trump's comments suggest a new conditionality on US involvement in a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia.
