- Editorial Roundup: United States
The Wall Street Journal criticizes the Trump administration's advancement of a civil nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, which would exclude safeguards like the Additional Protocol and the 'gold standard' of no uranium enrichment or reprocessing. The editorial argues this weakens U.S. nonproliferation efforts, contrasts Saudi Arabia with the UAE's 2009 compliance, and warns of increased global nuclear risks.
