The Trump administration has renewed discussions with Saudi Arabia regarding a nuclear technology deal aimed at enabling the kingdom to cultivate a commercial nuclear power industry. Energy Secretary Chris Wright revealed that while negotiations have not finalized, there appears to be a pathway forward, contingent upon addressing issues involving sensitive technologies and the domestic enrichment of uranium. The talks may also be intertwined with broader diplomatic relations, including the normalization of ties with Israel, and address Saudi Arabia's long-term goal of diversifying its economy beyond oil.
The Trump administration has revived talks with Saudi officials over a deal that would give Saudi Arabia access to U.S. nuclear technology and potentially allow it to enrich uranium, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Sunday.
For years, Saudi Arabia has pressed the United States to help it develop a nuclear energy program, as Saudi officials look beyond oil to provide energy and diversify the economy.
