On July 23, 2026, President Donald J. Trump announced that a civil nuclear cooperation agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia would be approved, but strictly on the condition that Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords. The President emphasized the deal would involve no enrichment of nuclear material and would be limited to non-military use, similar to existing arrangements with Iran and the UAE. President Trump wrote:

"The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords. The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
