President Donald Trump has placed a new condition on a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia a day after formally approving it, saying the country now must join the Abraham Accords.

Trump wrote in a post on social media Thursday that the deal, which has already been signed, “will be approved,” but added, that it “is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.”

The president also emphasized in the post that there would be “no enrichment” even though the agreement could lead to the country enriching its own fuel for civilian reactors.

The deal has already sparked criticism from Israeli officials and is expected to draw scrutiny on Capitol Hill.

I wouldn’t be surprised if part of it is also that the Saudis have to keep pumping oil to keep the price down.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

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. The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Why do they need the stuff? They got oil. They need it as much as Iran does. Then there’s the danger of the Saudi’s going the way Iran did after the Shah was deposed. Osama Bin Laden would have been elected to run the country if there was an election it’s been said.

Very dangerous times we’re living,

President Trump should leave this alone and do nothing more with it.

Jerusalem will become a burdensome stone to all those who burden themselves over it. This is also why ‘Babylon the Great Again’ is burned with fire at the time of the end.

“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.” - Revelation 16:19

So do we, but nukes can be a part of a healthy energy profile. Liek us, they likely want to sell theirs for money to those who don't have enough of their own.

"U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman signed an agreement Wednesday on civilian nuclear cooperation. They also signed a bilateral agreement on nuclear safeguards. The White House has not released the text of the deal."

I doubt the Saudis will do any such thing, and they're probably pissed off that Trump is imposing these conditions after the deal was signed.

And Trump really can't afford to piss off the Gulf states anymore than he's already doing with his bumbling and stumbling in Iran.

They think the time to negotiate is after they sign a contract.

Why should Saudi do so? And why does Trump think it is his business what accords they decide to join?
