Trump states Saudi Arabia must join Abraham Accords for nuclear agreement

President Donald Trump stated that Saudi Arabia must join the Abraham Accords before the United States will proceed with a civilian nuclear agreement. He mentioned that this requirement was understood during negotiations. Trump responded to inquiries about Energy Secretary Chris Wright's announcement of progress on a Saudi nuclear deal, asserting that the condition for Saudi Arabia to join the Accords was always clear. He emphasized that any agreement would need to pass through Congress and would not advance without Saudi Arabia's participation in the Accords. Trump also noted that the regional security situation had changed due to a reduction in Iran's military capabilities, which he claimed eliminated concerns about Iran's influence. He reiterated that any agreement with Saudi Arabia would focus solely on civilian nuclear energy, specifying that it would not involve enrichment. These comments were made during an event at the White House celebrating advancements in nuclear energy.
