Democratic and Republican U.S. senators asked President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday to declassify and release all information about a proposed agreement with Saudi Arabia on civil nuclear energy, including two ​classified “side letters” reached with Riyadh.

In a letter to Secretary of State Marco ‌Rubio and Secretary of Energy Christopher Wright, which was seen by Reuters, the senators noted that the government has reached dozens of these so-called 123 nuclear agreements with other countries without withholding such information.

“Access to the full text is required for the Senate and the public to have ‌a ​clear understanding of the commitments being made on the ⁠nation’s behalf and those being ⁠made by Saudi Arabia to the United States,” the letter said.

The 30-year nuclear deal calls for the construction ⁠of AP1000 reactors, a ‌project worth tens of billions of dollars that would benefit ⁠Westinghouse, jointly owned by Canada-based Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management.
