Trump approved the 30-year Saudi nuclear agreement or opened the Riyadh uranium enrichment gate

On 22 July, United States President Trump approved a 30-year nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, according to the Wall Street Journal. A number of government officials have revealed that this so-called historic arrangement, with an estimated value of tens of billions of dollars, will support the establishment of a civil nuclear energy programme in Saudi Arabia and may open the way for uranium enrichment activities in Saudi Arabia. As agreed, United States companies will occupy a central place in the construction of Saudi nuclear infrastructure, while excluding other foreign competitors. The agreement is expected to be submitted to Congress for consideration in the coming days, and the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, is expected to sign the document on Wednesday; the Saudi Minister of Energy, Prince Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, will also sign the agreement. Trump approved the agreement last week. During his first mission to the region in April 2025, Reyt discussed elements related to this arrangement with Abdelaziz。
