The Trump administration has transmitted a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress, opening a 90-day Atomic Energy Act review in which the pact can take effect unless both chambers pass disapproval resolutions. Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed the deal gives Riyadh a path to uranium enrichment on Saudi soil many years from now, via a joint U.S.-Saudi study that may proceed without the IAEA Additional Protocol. The White House says President Donald Trump’s position is unchanged: the agreement advances only if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords and normalizes ties with Israel, even though the signed text itself does not mandate that step. The full text sent Monday was classified—an unprecedented move for a Section 123 agreement—and includes sensitive side letters. Wright said the nuclear and Accords tracks will run in parallel, while IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency’s Board must review bilaterally negotiated safeguards he described as adding stringent verification. Nonproliferation critics, including Sen. Ed Markey, still urge rejection for lacking gold-standard bans on enrichment and reprocessing.
