The United States is no longer linking negotiations for a Saudi nuclear energy program with a normalization deal for Riyadh to recognize Israel based on the Abraham Accords.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright in April while on a visit to Saudi Arabia mentioned a "pathway" to a civil nuclear agreement, even though the Saudis were insisting that there would be no normalized ties with Israel until it ceases Gaza military action, and allows for a Palestinian state. This was a first strong hint that the new administration was ready to delink the two issues.
"Dropping the demand that Saudi Arabia establish diplomatic relations with Israel would be a major concession by Washington," Reuters now reports. "Under former President Joe Biden, nuclear talks were an element of a wider U.S.-Saudi deal tied to normalization and to Riyadh's goal of a defense treaty with Washington."
