JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump has set new conditions for a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, a day after officially agreeing to it. Trump stated that Saudi Arabia must now join the Abraham agreement (Abraham Accords)
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the deal that had been signed would be approved. But Trump said it "depends entirely on Saudi Arabia joining the highly respected and successful Abraham Accords."
On Wednesday, Energy Minister Chris Wright and his counterpart from Saudi Arabia signed an agreement that provides a civilian nuclear program for Saudi Arabia.
The deal has drawn criticism from Israeli officials and is expected to come under sharp scrutiny on Capitol Hill.
CNN previously reported that the government had allowed the deal to be delayed for months due to concerns about the Iran war and potential rejection from Congress.
In his post, Trump stressed that there would be no nuclear material "enrichment". Saudi Arabia was previously reluctant to join the Abraham Accords - an initiative that began during Trump's first term and was expanded during his second term to establish diplomatic relations between Israel and its neighbors in the Middle East.
It is not yet clear what impact Trump's statement on social media will have on the agreement that has been signed.
