The Trump administration plans to submit a 123 Agreement to Congress for US-Saudi nuclear technology sharing without International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards or conditions tied to Israeli normalisation. The pact would allow Saudi uranium enrichment and has drawn swift opposition from Israeli officials and lawmakers warning of regional nuclear proliferation.

If you're building nuclear infrastructure, inspection tech, or fuel supply chains, the IAEA safeguards that locked you out of certain markets just got optional. Congress votes within weeks—the regulatory surface you've been building for has shifted.
