US President Donald Trump has linked a proposed civil nuclear agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia to a major diplomatic condition: Saudi Arabia must join the Abraham Accords and recognize Israel. The administration has emphasized that the agreement is intended solely for peaceful nuclear energy and will not permit uranium enrichment, aiming to strengthen cooperation while addressing concerns about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.
Speaking to reporters, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump has repeatedly communicated this position to Saudi leaders. She stated, "He has said if they don't join the Abraham Accords, the deal is off. So we'll continue to have those conversations with our Saudi counterparts moving forward." Her remarks reinforced the administration's stance that the proposed nuclear partnership is tied to broader regional normalization efforts.
Leavitt also described President Trump as the "final dealmaker" and said he has called on Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords "on numerous occasions." While Israel has welcomed Trump's position, Saudi Arabia has not yet publicly responded to the latest remarks. The proposal is expected to face congressional review, with supporters calling it a strategic partnership and critics raising questions about its long-term implications for regional security and nuclear non-proliferation.
