Trump's Saudi nuclear deal hands a tinderbox region the tools for an arms race
The Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia on July 22, giving Riyadh a pathway to enrich uranium without the toughest IAEA safeguards. Nonproliferation experts warn the accord could trigger a regional arms race, and the economic fallout, from deterred foreign investment to higher oil-shipping risk premiums, may prove far more damaging than the deal's commercial upside.
