Saudi Arabia

A dozen Democratic U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday urged Secretary of State

Marco Rubio to push for “gold standard” non-proliferation protections in
any agreement with Saudi Arabia on sharing nuclear power technology. The
administration of Republican President Donald Trump told leaders of some
congressional committees in November in an initial report that it is
pursuing a civil nuclear pact with Saudi Arabia that does not include
non-proliferation safeguards the U.S. has long said would ensure the
kingdom does not develop nuclear weapons. Many Democrats and some
Republicans, including Rubio when he served in the Senate, have insisted
any agreement include guardrails, including that Saudi Arabia not enrich
uranium or reprocess spent nuclear fuel – potential pathways to weapons.
