The Trump administration is nearing a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia. This deal could allow the kingdom uranium enrichment capability for its civilian program. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the agreement would not lead to proliferation risks. The accord is expected to last thirty years and involve US firms. Congress will review the deal, which may face significant opposition.

The deal is expected to be a financial windfall for American companies but is likely to raise concerns of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.

The agreement includes a number of worrying U.S. concessions, raising concerns that Saudi Arabia is taking advantage of its close financial ties to the Trump family.
