The US White House press secretary said at a press conference on July 23, local time, that if Saudi Arabia does not join the “Abraham Agreement,” the nuclear energy cooperation agreement just signed between the US and Saudi Arabia will be “annulled.” The day before, the US and Saudi energy departments issued separate statements announcing that the two countries had signed a cooperation agreement on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. According to CNN, the White House previously asked the US Department of Energy to suspend the publication of the cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, but Energy Secretary Wright proceeded with the signing ceremony without informing President Trump in advance, which annoyed the White House. At the same time, other media questioned that the Biden administration had asked Saudi Arabia to sign the “Abraham Agreement” before carrying out nuclear cooperation, but the current administration made direct concessions before, and the pressure of public opinion may also have changed the attitude of the White House.
