Is the US-Saudi nuclear deal progressing or stalled?

The United States and Saudi Arabia have reached a nuclear cooperation agreement to establish a civilian nuclear program in Saudi Arabia, enabling the country to generate electricity and export more natural resources. However, President Trump has added a condition that Saudi Arabia must normalize relations with Israel before the deal proceeds. Saudi Arabia insists it will not recognize Israel without a clear path for Palestinian statehood, complicating the deal’s future as it awaits congressional review. Additionally, challenges remain for Saudi Arabia in building its nuclear industry, including securing nuclear fuel and ensuring international oversight.
