The Real U.S.-Saudi Nuclear Deal Is Better Than We Thought

The Trump administration transmitted the U.S.-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement to Congress on August 24, 2026, initiating a 90-day review process under the Atomic Energy Act. Originally announced in November 2025 and signed in July 2026, the deal's transmission was delayed by President Donald Trump over Saudi Arabia's normalization of relations with Israel. While the administration promotes the agreement, Democrats have proposed a bill to strike down the controversial nuclear energy projects deal during the review period.
