US President Donald Trump has stated that a civilian nuclear energy agreement with Saudi Arabia will only proceed if Riyadh recognizes Israel as part of the Abraham Accords. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the deal, which he emphasized would involve no enrichment of nuclear material and be limited to non-military use, is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the accords. The announcement follows criticism from experts who warn the deal could risk nuclear proliferation in an already volatile region. The nuclear issue has been central to US-Israeli tensions with Iran. Trump brokered the Abraham Accords in 2020, normalizing relations between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain, with Sudan and Morocco later following suit. The market impact is seen as negative, given potential geopolitical uncertainty and the conditional nature of the deal.
