The US Department of Energy said on the 22nd that the US and Saudi Arabia have signed a cooperation agreement on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. According to several US media reports, the agreement includes provisions allowing Saudi Arabia to carry out uranium enrichment activities in the country. Analysts believe that the nuclear energy cooperation agreement reached by the US and Saudi Arabia is not only a product of the Trump administration's pursuit of commercial interests and Saudi Arabia's quest for independence in nuclear energy technology, but also an important strategic move taken by the two countries in the context of the current changes in the Middle East. Some provisions and model effects of the agreement conceal the risk of nuclear proliferation.
