Is President Trump's nuclear energy deal with Riyadh a problem?

U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a 30-year agreement with Saudi Arabia to share civilian nuclear power technology.

The deal, estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars, aims to give U.S. companies a central role in developing Saudi Arabia’s nuclear infrastructure while explicitly excluding foreign competitors.

Normalization with Israel was not mentioned.

KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Prof Yossi Mann, a researcher in the Department of Middle Eastern studies in Bar-Ilan University.
