President Donald Trump said Thursday that any civil nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia would be contingent on the kingdom joining the Abraham Accords. In a social media post, he linked the proposed agreement directly to that broader diplomatic step.
The statement connects two major policy areas: nuclear cooperation and regional diplomacy. By making the deal conditional, Trump signaled that progress on a civil nuclear arrangement should come alongside a wider political commitment from Saudi Arabia.
Trump also framed the Abraham Accords in strongly positive terms, underscoring how central the initiative remains to his approach. His comments suggest that expanding the accords is still a key benchmark in how he views high-level engagement in the Middle East.
Based on the available details, no broader framework or timeline was outlined. But the message was clear: in Trump's view, movement on a US-Saudi civil nuclear deal would depend first on Saudi Arabia taking the step of joining the Abraham Accords.
