CNN: How Trump upended the Saudi nuclear deal less than 24 hours after its signing
Trump said Saudi Arabia’s nuclear deal depends on joining the Abraham Accords, while CNN raised conflict-of-interest concerns over a reported $63 billion Saudi-linked award.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the 123 Agreement is "totally subject" to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords, less than 24 hours after officials concluded the civilian nuclear deal.
- Officials formally concluded the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement at the Energy Department on Wednesday, marking the culmination of two decades of efforts to facilitate nuclear energy cooperation between the United States and Saudi Arabia.
- Saudi leadership maintains that normalization with Israel is contingent upon the creation of a Palestinian state, a position directly conflicting with Trump's new requirement that Riyadh join the Abraham Accords to secure the 123 Agreement.
- Administration negotiators were reportedly surprised by the sudden condition, while senior White House aides were angered because required congressional notification letters had not yet been sent, raising questions about deal finality.
- Trump reimposed the condition minutes after Fox News morning commentary expressed skepticism about the deal, suggesting external media pressure influenced the sudden reversal of the administration's negotiated framework.
