3. Agreement enables potential peaceful nuclear cooperation.
4. Submission triggers legally mandated congressional oversight process.

U.S. President Donald Trump has formally submitted the civil nuclear agreement signed between the United States and Saudi Arabia to Congress for review. The submission activates a legally mandated 90-day review period while Congress is in session to evaluate the proposed deal.

Structured under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, the pact outlines a legal framework for peaceful nuclear energy cooperation. The oversight period allows lawmakers to assess the agreement's compliance with U.S. non-proliferation standards and evaluate its broader diplomatic impact on Middle Eastern relations before it can take effect.
