US Eases Nuclear Safeguards for Saudi Arabia
The U.S. has informed Congress of a potential civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, relaxing previous non-proliferation safeguards.
Reports indicate Riyadh may begin uranium enrichment on its soil as part of the deal.
This move signals a shift in U.S. policy towards nuclear cooperation in the Middle East.
The administration's report indicates it is not seeking the Additional Protocol, raising concerns among nonproliferation experts. The draft agreement leaves open the possibility of Saudi enrichment and reprocessing activities.
