Event Summary

President Donald Trump announced on July 24, 2026, that he will not proceed with a civil nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia unless the kingdom agrees to normalize relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords. The U.S. Department of Energy had signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia on July 22 to develop the first commercial nuclear reactors in the country, which was to be reviewed by Congress. Trump's condition, added publicly on July 23, aligns with previous efforts by former President Joe Biden to tie the deal to the accords. Saudi Arabia has not responded and has previously insisted on an irreversible path to a Palestinian state before recognizing Israel. The deal is seen as benefiting Westinghouse Electric Company, co-owned by Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management.
