Trump Saudi nuclear deal debate
U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz said there is no enrichment envisioned in the U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal.
The Department of Energy had not released key details about the deal at the time of reporting.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Saudi Arabia to agree to Trump's stipulation and said doing so would be an historic leap forward for peace in the Middle East.
“The difference is Iran is enriching to weapons’ level that it doesn’t need to do. Iran is burying it, which no other country in the world does, hundreds of feet underground, under hardened military infrastructure. Iran is trying to shield it with a conventional drone and missile shield. And Iran has stated if and when they get a nuclear weapon they will not only use it on Israel, but they will threaten the rest of the world to export the revolution.”
