Saudi Arabia would need to normalize relations with Israel as a condition of a nuclear deal with the U.S., President Donald Trump said.
President Trump claimed Thursday the new nuclear deal the U.S. signed with Saudi Arabia will not include uranium enrichment and requires the kingdom normalize its relations with Israel. Why it matters: Trump is responding to two of the bigger criticisms of the deal: that it could open the door to nuclear enrichment and that Washington gave up leverage to push a peace deal with Israel . What he is saying: "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…
The nuclear power deal between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia was met with alarm in Israel as it deepened concerns that Israel, a major American ally, and Trump are increasingly diverging on foreign policy and security.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who died suddenly Saturday, spent his final weeks laying the groundwork for an ambitious new push to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, he told me in multiple conversations over the past several weeks. Why it matters: Graham was one of Washington's most influential and energetic foreign policy figures. He spent decades trying to shape America's role in the world and was still pursuing some of his biggest diplomatic ambitions in the final hours of his life. Zoom in: Graham saw Saudi-Israel normalization as the defining prize of a broader postwar settlement in the Middle East — one that could outlast the military campaign against Iran and fundamentally reshape the region. - He had worked…

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / The EU has a certain perplexity watching POTUS’s recent Beijing trip from the sidelines. The Europeans had at least understood that from the MAGA perspective, China was supposed to be an existential threat to the US.
