U.S. Senators Say They Secured a Vote on Saudi Nuclear Pact Before December 13

U.S. senators said Friday they secured a Senate vote on President Donald Trump's proposed nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, expected before December 13. Senator Jeff Merkley said he worked with Republicans and Democratic colleagues to obtain the assurance. The agreement entered the Senate record on September 14, starting a 90-day review period during which lawmakers can seek disapproval. Critics question its uranium-enrichment and reprocessing restrictions, while the administration says it includes safeguards required by U.S. law. Trump has linked implementation to Saudi participation in the Abraham Accords, although congressional aides said the agreement contains no normalization provision.
