Trump Says He Did Not Explicitly Discuss Saudi Nuclear Deal with Energy Secretary

During a press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump was asked if he had authorized Energy Secretary Chris Wright to sign a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia. Trump responded that they had not explicitly discussed the matter, but it was always understood. He emphasized that Saudi Arabia knew the deal would not proceed unless they joined the Abraham Accords. Trump also reiterated his claim that if he had not been elected, Israel would no longer exist, having been destroyed by nuclear weapons.
