Trump's nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia disregards longstanding US demands.

Authoritative reporting and expert analysis indicate that the Trump administration’s nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia departs from, and in key respects abandons, longstanding U.S. nonproliferation demands such as the “gold standard” prohibition on enrichment and reprocessing and the requirement to adopt the IAEA Additional Protocol.

The Trump administration and some officials characterize the agreement as maintaining “high standards” of nuclear safety and nonproliferation, arguing that U.S. industry involvement provides safeguards, but they do not dispute that traditional guardrails like the enrichment ban and Additional Protocol requirement were relaxed or removed.[2][5][10]
