The Trump administration has greenlit Saudi Arabia’s nuclear enrichment project, but with no safeguards in place to prevent the development of a bomb, CNN reported on Friday.
The draft deal, viewed by the news outlet, showed Washington’s support for Riyadh’s civilian nuclear programme is still awaiting President Donald Trump’s signature, despite US-Saudi negotiations concluding in October.
Unnamed officials cited in the story indicated that the documents, which include the mandatory “123 agreement” and safeguards protocols, have not yet been sent to Congress, potentially for fear of bipartisan pushback.
Seems to run counter to enacted law. Also, how much you want to bet there will be chicinery with the upcoming government shutdown will provide cloak and cover for this.
Crazy thought: this is all blackmail because Saudi Arabia got a copy of the Epstein files.
Wild. I genuinely would trust Iran more than Saudi Arabia or Israel at this point.
Iran started their nuclear program in the 60s. They have been enriching for decades and yet no bomb despite Israel and the US claiming a bomb is just weeks away for decades.
So yeah, Iran has a pretty good track record when it comes to nuclear weapons. They literally agreed to a non-proliferation deal and Trump ripped it up because it had Obama’s signature on it.
