Reuters: Saudi Arabia flags plan to enrich uranium as U.S. seeks nuclear pact
ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia wants to enrich uranium for its nuclear power program, its energy minister said on Monday, potentially complicating talks with Washington on an atomic pact and the role of U.S. companies.
Uranium enrichment has been a sticking point with the United States, especially after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in 2018 that the Sunni Muslim kingdom would develop nuclear arms if regional rival Shi’ite Muslim Iran did.
The world’s top oil exporter says it wants to use nuclear power to diversify its energy mix, but enrichment also opens up the possibility of military uses of uranium.
“We are proceeding with it cautiously ... we are experimenting with two nuclear reactors,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said, referring to a plan to issue a tender for the Gulf Arab state’s first two nuclear power reactors.

WNU Editor: There are no doubts in my mind that the ultimate goal for Saudi Arabia is to have the infrastructure in place to develop and build nuclear weapons. Diversifying its energy mix is a secondary priority, not the primary one.

Thx Obama, ya nut!

I blame Lincoln
"who is the president this week? "
Pro-tip: Military procurement plans are usually a multiyear process.
It is not like going to your local convenience store being a gentle giant and going Democrat on a innocent brown or colored immigrant and choking him within an inch of his life.
Who was president 2013 years ago?
Right Obasm.
"In 2013, media reports appeared suggesting that the RSSMF would consider purchasing the advanced DF-21 ballistic missile from China in the future"
Who ended the agreement with Iran? Trump...thus

you really need to blame the proper person and not dump on a previous president...Trump is pals with this guy and he can chat him up on this...if he wanted to or impose sanctions...if he wanted to...
It was a bad deal
1) Because the Iranians cheated.
"Samples taken by the U.N. nuclear watchdog at what Israel’s prime minister called a “secret atomic warehouse” in Tehran showed traces of uranium that Iran has yet to explain," - Reuters
2) Because it kicked the can down the road which did nothing assuage the concerns of others in the region leading to an arms race.
Obama was and still is a stupid mother fucker.
Whenever the teleprompter is off he sounds like what he is, a fool.
The last president, Obasm, negotiated a bad deal that the Iranians cheated on and thus broke the deal.
