Trump names conditions for approval of nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia

President Donald Trump on Thursday said an agreement being reached with Saudi Arabia for a civilian nuclear program requires the kingdom to normalize relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords, Report informs via AP.

In a post on social media, the Republican president said the deal doesn't allow for enrichment of uranium. Nonproliferation experts have raised concerns that the deal fails to include guardrails to prevent enrichment of uranium to weapons-grade levels.

Trump's post said the agreement "will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords." He added that "The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities."
