President Trump has formally approved a landmark agreement with Saudi Arabia that will provide the country with a civilian nuclear program and potentially open the door to uranium enrichment in the kingdom’s territory, according to U.S. officials.

The new deal, which would last 30 years, is estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars. It is designed to give American companies a central role in developing Saudi Arabia’s nuclear infrastructure while shutting out other foreign competitors.

A key provision of the new accord would have American companies build an uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia if a joint U.S.-Saudi study determines such a step would be warranted.

No political party has ever sucked off the Saudis more than the GOP. It’s been going on for 30 years at this point.

When it was revealed that there was a clear link between low levels of the Saudi government and the Hamburg cell, Bush did absolutely nothing because he was already in bed with them over their massive investments into a Texas-located PE firm that he was an advisor of.

frick Saudi Arabia. It’s still a backwards arse country where most of its population are living culturally in the Stone Age albeit with 21st century technology. Honor killings still happen there among families but are hugely underreported due to the Saudi royal family having complete control over the country’s media networks.

The west still doesn't fricking get it in regards to Islam. NEVER get into bed with it. NEVER give it arms... AND NEVER, frickING EVER, give them the ability to enrich uranium.

The stupidity of western politicians is only outpaced by their greed. I don't give a shite what our current alignment is with "The Kingdom" they fund terrorism and we should never give them this ability.

In a couple of decades, one of these muslim caliphates is going to deliver a bomb somewhere using more than likely stealth technology we sold them, because their leaders are "Such great guys".

I’m sure Don, Jr. and Eric will be on the board of whatever company is chosen to build it.

The “pro-big business at all costs” platform that the GOP has staunchly held for decades needs to fricking die off at some point. It’s the reason why Texas now has one of the highest numbers of H1B’s out of all 50 states.

Bush was the absolute worst with it and Abbott is just as bad. Same with Trump. Until someone in the GOP decides to have the balls to change the current model, nothing will happen.

It’s about doing business with countries whose citizens and government leaders have similar cultural values and morals as ours do.

KSA does not share the same cultural values and their government is not at all representative of what their population is like. The Saudi royals are nothing more than capitalists dressed in Muslim clothing.

It's cute you think the Saudis are living in the stone age. Maybe the workers they import but not the Saudis.

Because you don’t think they are?

What about the insanely high rates of inbreeding and honor killings that you never hear about because the data is purposely hidden by their government? There’s no such thing as independent media in that country.

If you actually took the time to research Saudi Arabia you would know that what you said is absolute stupidity. It is a backwards arse country and it would still be a nomadic shithole if it weren’t for the discovery of oil.
