Trump has approved a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that may permit uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, a significant shift in US non-proliferation policy toward a key Middle East ally.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build nuclear fuel cycle infrastructure, inspection systems, or enrichment monitoring technology, the regulatory floor just moved: a permanent US veto on Saudi enrichment has been lifted, opening a buyer with capital and political backing. The market for civilian nuclear tech in the Gulf expands, but expect tighter Western export controls elsewhere to compensate.
