US sign deal Saudi Arabia enrich uranium

[Dr Strangelove]

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

The Agreement: The deal was intended to establish a long-term partnership involving nuclear cooperation, which drew immediate criticism due to concerns over nuclear proliferation (0:14 - 0:46).
The Complication: Trump later made the deal conditional on Saudi Arabia normalizing diplomatic ties with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords (0:52 - 1:12).
The Standoff: Senator Van Holland noted that Saudi Arabia maintains a firm position that normalization is tied to the development of a Palestinian state, making the administration's new requirement a "bait and switch" (1:36 - 2:05).
Republican Opposition: Senator John Kennedy expressed strong skepticism, citing concerns about timing, the risks of nuclear proliferation in a volatile world, and the unlikely prospect that Saudi Arabia will abandon its stance on the Palestinian issue to satisfy the current conditions (2:21 - 3:42).
The video concludes that because any such deal requires congressional approval, the opposition from both sides of the aisle creates a significant hurdle for the Trump administration's goals (3:59 - 4:24).
