President Donald Trump approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could allow the kingdom to enrich uranium for its civilian nuclear program, two people familiar with the matter said. The deal, expected to be announced as early as Wednesday, would run for 30 years and involve U.S. firms in developing the program.
The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a uranium enrichment facility could be built in Saudi Arabia following a joint U.S.-Saudi study. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Wall Street Journal first reported the decision.
