US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that a nuclear cooperation arrangement with Saudi Arabia would require MBS's government to right away recognise Israel alongside the Abraham Accords. The statement undermines reports from earlier this month that the questions were handled as separate questions in recent months. Trump made the demand openly comments during a presser.
The proposed nuclear agreement has remained a priority for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as part of his economic diversification plans. Saudi officials had not immediately responded to the updated US position.
