Trump administration approved a 30-year civilian nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia that lacks standard non-proliferation safeguards (uranium enrichment restrictions and IAEA inspection rights) found in similar agreements with 26 other countries. The deal, signed by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, requires Congressional approval and is expected to benefit US companies including Westinghouse Electric.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build nuclear components or enrichment systems, you now have a multi-billion-dollar customer in Saudi Arabia and a regulatory path that other bidders won't have—but you're also betting that Congress doesn't block this over proliferation concerns. Call Westinghouse's supply chain now; that deal could move fast or die in committee.
