The United States and Saudi Arabia have reached a nuclear cooperation agreement, the US Energy Department says, confirming reports earlier today.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright signs the pact and a separate bilateral safeguards deal alongside Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
“Together, these two agreements lay the legal foundation for a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar partnership that advances several priority economic and strategic objectives, including nuclear nonproliferation,” the US Energy Department says in a statement.
News of the agreement, long reported to be in the pipeline, has raised alarm bells among Israeli officials.
