The Trump administration has greenlit Saudi Arabia’s nuclear enrichment project, but with no safeguards in place to prevent the development of a bomb, CNN reported on Friday.
The draft deal, viewed by the news outlet, showed Washington’s support for Riyadh’s civilian nuclear programme is still awaiting President Donald Trump’s signature, despite US-Saudi negotiations concluding in October.
Unnamed officials cited in the story indicated that the documents, which include the mandatory “123 agreement” and safeguards protocols, have not yet been sent to Congress, potentially for fear of bipartisan pushback.
Seems to run counter to enacted law. Also, how much you want to bet there will be chicinery with the upcoming government shutdown will provide cloak and cover for this.
Crazy thought: this is all blackmail because Saudi Arabia got a copy of the Epstein files.
Haven’t you heard? Their shared belief that Iran and people with left wing ideology are he root of all evil makes Saudi Arabia a friend of the West’s favorite fascist apartheid regime and therefore the GOOD guys who must be placated under all circumstances!
Also, they probably gave everyone in the Trump kakistocracy a shitload of bribes and/or have blackmail material on them.
