Trump administration plans to submit a 123 Agreement with Saudi Arabia for civil nuclear cooperation that omits the "Gold Standard" safeguards against uranium enrichment and reprocessing, and lacks IAEA Additional Protocol oversight. Congress will have 90 days to object before the pact goes into force.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply nuclear fuel cycle technology, enrichment equipment, or inspection systems to the US or its contractors, you now have a 90-day regulatory window where Congress may block or reshape this deal—and a buyer (Saudi Arabia) explicitly signalling intent to enrich uranium. Move now to understand whether your export controls, licensing, or customer relationships are about to shift.
