Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, July 23, 2026 —

Former President Donald Trump has asserted that a forthcoming civilian nuclear program agreement with Saudi Arabia is conditional upon the kingdom establishing normalized relations with Israel, as part of the Abraham Accords.

Trump made this statement on social media, emphasizing that the proposed deal includes stipulations prohibiting uranium enrichment by Saudi Arabia. He further stated that Saudi Arabia’s participation in the Abraham Accords is a prerequisite for the approval of the nuclear agreement.

This declaration comes as the nuclear deal, which involves United States firms and is anticipated to span 30 years, is prepared for submission to Congress for review. The specifics of the agreement’s terms and its submission timeline were not fully detailed.

However, the conditions outlined by Trump present a potential hurdle, given Saudi Arabia’s previously stated position. The Kingdom has indicated that any normalization with Israel would require a clear pathway toward the establishment of a Palestinian state. This stance has been met with rejection by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has opposed conditions related to Palestinian statehood.

The trend summary did not provide further details on the specific U.S. firms involved in the nuclear deal, the exact date of its submission to Congress, or any other associated timelines or potential outcomes beyond the conditions stated by Trump.
