The Trump administration’s surprise nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia is sparking global alarm, as it could enable uranium enrichment — a red flag for nuclear proliferation. Critics argue the move undermines non-proliferation norms, especially given Saudi Arabia’s regional tensions with Israel and its history tied to 9/11. While the Biden era had similar talks that stalled after Hamas attacks, Trump added a new twist: normalization with Israel and joining the Abraham Accords. But the real firestorm centers on the lack of IAEA oversight — safeguards will be managed solely by U.S. and Saudi officials — and the potential for U.S. firms to build enrichment facilities. Non-proliferation advocates and pro-Israel groups are rallying Congress to block the deal, fearing it sets a dangerous precedent, especially compared to the stricter UAE agreement. The White House remains silent on specifics, but lawmakers are preparing for a congressional review — and critics hope to halt or reverse this before it’s too late.
