President Trump addressed the nuclear agreement the US is making with Saudi Arabia, and made two key points. The first being, that it is only a civilian nuclear agreement and not anything meant for military.
The second is that while he says it will be approved, it is still subject to the Saudis joining the Abraham Accords.
Here’s what he wrote:
The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords. The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The WSJ reported that it wasn’t just a civilian nuclear deal two days ago, but one that could be military at some point. Apparently that isn’t true – according to the man signing off on the deal. Just wanted to make that clear.
