President Donald Trump said Thursday that the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia is "totally subject" to the kingdom joining the Abraham Accords.

In a Truth Social post, Trump emphasized that the agreement is strictly for peaceful nuclear energy and ruled out uranium enrichment under the U.S.-Saudi arrangement.

"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," Trump wrote.

"The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities."

Trump's comments underscored his administration's effort to link expanded cooperation with Riyadh to one of his signature foreign policy achievements from his first term.

The accords normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and Trump has repeatedly called for Saudi Arabia to join the accords.

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia reached a civil nuclear cooperation agreement Wednesday, known as a "123 Agreement," that would allow the kingdom to develop civilian nuclear power using American technology.

The pact now heads to Congress, which has 90 legislative days to object before it takes effect.

Trump's clarification came after reports suggested the agreement would permit Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium.

The president insisted the U.S.-backed program would involve "no enrichment of material," stressing that it is intended only for peaceful, nonmilitary purposes.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman signed the agreement this week.

The Energy Department said the pact complies with the nonproliferation requirements of the U.S. Atomic Energy Act while strengthening America's strategic partnership with a key Middle East ally.

The administration has argued that working with Saudi Arabia is preferable to allowing the kingdom to seek nuclear assistance from geopolitical rivals such as China and Russia, whose standards differ from those imposed by Washington.

Saudi Arabia has long maintained that it will not formally join the Abraham Accords without progress toward a pathway for Palestinian statehood, making Trump's condition a potentially significant diplomatic hurdle.

Critics, including some congressional Democrats and nonproliferation advocates, have warned that the agreement could increase proliferation risks in the region.

The Trump administration, however, has defended the deal as a way to strengthen U.S. influence, promote American energy technology, and reinforce regional security while encouraging additional Arab-Israeli normalization through the accords.
