Trumpy Is Already Scuttling The Saudi Nuclear Accord

At Nazionist instruction no doubt

Rather than scuttling it, the Trump administration actively approved a 30-year civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, though President Trump subsequently threw the newly signed pact into chaos by attempting to retroactively add strict conditions. [1, 2]

The timeline and details of the agreement include:

Initial Signing: On July 22, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy and Saudi officials signed a "peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement" (often referred to as a "123 Agreement"). The pact allows U.S. companies to build Saudi nuclear reactors. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Contested Concessions: The initial agreement was heavily criticized by nonproliferation experts. Reports indicated it lacked strict global safeguards (such as the International Atomic Energy Agency's Additional Protocol) and potentially opened the door for Saudi Arabia to enrich its own uranium. Furthermore, it delinked the nuclear pact from the normalization of relations with Israel—a condition long demanded by previous administrations. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Presidential Reversal: Just a day after the signing, President Trump took to social media to declare that the deal was "totally subject" to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and explicitly stated "there will be no enrichment of material!". [1]
Next Steps: The deal has been sent to Congress, where lawmakers have 90 session days to review and potentially vote to block the agreement. [1, 2]

It all depends on what kind of restrictions he has been attempting to add after the fact.

Are they equal too those that have been imposed against others' rules and regulations in the geographic area?

Trump regularly pushes beyond standard conditions:

Unconditional surrender

I get to choose

etc.

Why would Saudi Arabia need our permission to go civilian nuclear anyway?

Pathetic American understanding of its own language.
