How Trump sells the atom to Saudi Arabia ?

The US administration has been negotiating since 2017 with Saudi Arabia the supply of nuclear reactors, which could lead to the manufacture of the atomic bomb.

To justify his hesitation to incriminate the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), suspected by the CIA of sponsoring the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Donald Trump does not hesitate to mention the 110 billion arms contracts that the United States has concluded with Saudi Arabia in 2017. According to the US President, these signatures would represent the creation of nearly a million jobs. Yet experts agree that, for the time being, only $ 14.5 billion worth of contracts have actually been signed between Riyadh and Washington, which has resulted, for now, only 500 new American jobs.

However, there is another aspect of the US-Saudi strategic relationship that the White House resident has been careful not to mention in recent weeks. According to the New York Times, the Trump administration is negotiating with Saudi Arabia to sell nuclear reactors. Conducted since 2017 by the US Department of Energy, as well as the State Department, discussions would amount to about 80 billion dollars (65 billion euros).
