Summary
US President Donald Trump has approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear programme, according to two people familiar with the matter. The deal could allow for the building of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia following a joint US-Saudi study. The deal is expected to last 30 years and is also expected to involve US firms in developing the programme.
Furthermore, However, non-proliferation experts have warned that permitting uranium enrichment inside Saudi Arabia could eventually give the kingdom the capability to pursue a nuclear weapons programme. Non-proliferation experts have often cited the UAE model as the "gold standard" for countries seeking civilian nuclear energy without raising proliferation risks. But non-proliferation experts warn any spinning centrifuges within Saudi Arabia could open the door to a possible weapons programme for the kingdom, something its assertive crown prince has suggested he could pursue if Tehran obtains an atomic bomb.
