Trump signs historic nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, report says

On 22 July 2026, Trump approved a nuclear agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia, according to the Wall Street Journal and two AP sources. The civil nuclear deal may allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium. The US Energy Department said the two countries agreed to a civil nuclear deal, and Reuters reported that Trump would seek Congress's approval for a pact that sources said lacks safeguards.

Israeli officials warned that the deal could lead to nuclear weapons and discourage normalization with Israel, and the Jerusalem Post noted that the agreement makes no mention of normalization. The Telegraph published an opinion piece arguing the deal would embolden Iran.
