President Donald Trump has secured a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, allowing the kingdom to pursue uranium enrichment under strict conditions with a preference for U.S. companies. The deal, known as a 123 agreement, faces congressional scrutiny due to proliferation risks but aims to boost U.S. nuclear industry interests while including safeguards to prevent weapons-grade fuel production.

The Trump administration announced $17.5 billion in loans to develop 10 new large nuclear reactors to address rising power demand from data centers. The reactors, using Westinghouse’s AP1000 design, aim to begin construction by 2030 and operationalize in the mid-2030s, with officials citing improved planning and supply chain efficiency compared to past projects like Plant Vogtle.
