美媒:特朗普批准与沙特达成30年核协议
Odaily Planet Daily News: US officials revealed that President Trump has officially approved a major nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, allowing Saudi Arabia to develop civilian nuclear projects and potentially opening the door for it to conduct uranium enrichment activities within its borders. The agreement spans 30 years, is expected to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and aims to secure a dominant role for US companies in the construction of Saudi Arabia's nuclear infrastructure while excluding other foreign competitors. One of the key terms of the agreement is that, if joint US-Saudi research deems it necessary, US companies will be responsible for building uranium enrichment facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Trump administration officials stated that this move will enable the US to maintain influence over Saudi Arabia's nuclear program and reduce the risk of related technologies being used for military purposes. However, the agreement is expected to be submitted to the US Congress for review in the coming days and may face opposition from some lawmakers. Critics worry that, against the backdrop of a volatile situation in the Middle East, the proliferation of nuclear technology could pose security risks. (Reported by the Wall Street Journal)
