  "summary": "The Trump administration has sent a proposed civil nuclear energy agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress for review. The deal, reached in July, would allow US companies to export civilian nuclear technology to the kingdom.\n\nAccording to a US administration official, the agreement will only go into effect if Saudi Arabia normalizes relations with Israel. This condition is tied to the Abraham Accords, a set of US-brokered agreements between Israel and several Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan, that were reached in 2020 and 2021.\n\nThe agreement has drawn opposition from Democrats, who have expressed concerns about nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, particularly given the prospect of Saudi Arabia enriching uranium. The deal has been sent to Congress, which has 90 session days to consider it.",
