Trump has approved a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that permits uranium enrichment capability and U.S. firm involvement in developing the programme, though the deal excludes IAEA Additional Protocol inspections. The agreement faces congressional scrutiny over proliferation risks, particularly given simultaneous U.S. efforts to prevent Iranian nuclear development.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply enrichment tech, centrifuges, or nuclear materials handling kit, you've just gained a new customer with 30-year contract length and U.S. government blessing—but Congress has 30 days to kill it. Move on pre-sales now; the regulatory window is open but narrow.
