The Saudis Learn the Truth About Trump
A U.S.-Saudi nuclear agreement allowing uranium enrichment was signed in July 2024, but President Donald Trump later claimed the deal excluded enrichment and required Saudi recognition of Israel, creating confusion. Saudi Arabia had invested in Trump's family businesses, expecting reciprocal support, but Trump's contradictory statements left the deal's future uncertain.
