The US and Saudi Arabia have signed a deal that will allow the Gulf kingdom to establish a civilian nuclear programme. The agreement is to form the foundation of a partnership under which the US exports nuclear technology worth several billion dollars to Riyadh. According to US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the deal will also enforce nuclear nonproliferation. Commentators are concerned that it will put the Saudis on the path to developing a nuclear weapon.
