Trump nods to the U.S.-Saudi “civil nuclear energy agreement”! Sets key conditions: Saudi Arabia must join the “Abraham Accords”

Major breakthrough for U.S. Middle East policy! According to the latest statement posted today by U.S. President Donald Trump on the Truth Social platform, approval of a “civilian nuclear energy agreement” between the U.S. Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia is coming soon. However, Trump has set a key attached condition: Saudi Arabia must officially join the Abraham Accords. This move shows the U.S. is trying to further promote peace and diplomatic restructuring in the Middle East through nuclear energy cooperation.

Amid ongoing turmoil in the global energy landscape and geopolitics, bilateral cooperation between the U.S. and Middle East power Saudi Arabia is again becoming a market focus. On July 23, U.S. President Donald Trump, through his social platform Truth Social, released a major diplomatic policy statement confirming that the U.S. is set to approve a civilian nuclear energy agreement with Saudi Arabia.

The U.S.-Saudi civilian nuclear energy agreement will be approved, emphasizing “no enrichment of materials”

In his statement, Trump made it clear that this civilian nuclear energy agreement reached between the U.S. Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia will be strictly limited to “non-military use.” He specifically emphasized that the agreement “will not include enrichment of material!,” ensuring that this cooperation remains strictly civilian in nature.

To ease external concerns about nuclear proliferation, Trump also used other Middle Eastern countries as comparisons, saying that non-enrichment civilian nuclear facilities are like those already in place in countries such as Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He said, “The U.S. does not oppose civilian (non-enrichment) nuclear facilities.”

The key leverage in the nuclear agreement: joining the Abraham Accords

Although Trump gave the green light to this civilian nuclear energy agreement, this big favor does not come without a price. In his statement, Trump floated a highly geopolitically consequential attached condition—approval of the agreement will be “totally subject to” Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords.

The Abraham Accords were an important diplomatic achievement promoted during Trump’s previous term, aimed at helping normalize relations between Israel and multiple Arab countries. Trump praised the agreement in his statement as “very respected and successful.” If Saudi Arabia, as a leading figure in the Islamic world, is willing to give the nod to join the agreement, it would undoubtedly be a historic breakthrough for the Middle East peace process.
