The draft deal was reportedly finalised in October 2025.
Trump approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that potentially provides it with uranium enrichment
Trump administration said the agreement would provide billions of dollars for the US nuclear industry
The proposed agreement is expected to be sent to the US Congress soon

Trump's announcement follows a landmark US-Saudi civilian nuclear deal
Saudi Arabia has said its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes.
Trump just signed a '123' deal with the Kingdom. For the Saudis, this could be a big win. But for the region, it can quickly become a source of uncontrolled chaos.
The newly forged nuclear pact between the US and Saudi Arabia promises to transform the atomic dynamics in the region. This agreement grants Saudi Arabia the ability to enrich uranium domestically, supervised by the United States, effectively diminishing Pakistan's nuclear dominance. The emergence of a nuclear triangle comprising Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia signals a significant shift in U.S. non-proliferation efforts, embracing a tiered regional order.
