President Trump has approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The deal has raised concerns among some experts about the proliferation of nuclear technology in the region. Saudi Arabia has long expressed its interest in developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, but critics fear that this could lead to a regional arms race.
While the agreement has yet to be made public, it has already sparked debates in Congress over the implications for U.S. national security and non-proliferation efforts. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for closer scrutiny of the deal before it moves forward.
