Trump Sends Civil Nuclear Deal With Saudi Arabia to Congress, Ties Progress to Israel Recognition

US President Donald Trump has submitted a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to the US Congress. A US administration official told Reuters that Trump insists the deal will only move forward if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords and recognizes Israel. This condition links the nuclear agreement's advancement to Saudi Arabia's diplomatic normalization with Israel, reflecting the broader geopolitical context of Middle East peace efforts.
