No Nuclear Weapons for Saudi Arabia Act of 2026

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require Congress to pass, and have enacted, a joint resolution approving any civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia before the agreement could take effect. Along with the proposed agreement, the President would have to give Congress a report on whether Saudi Arabia has given up uranium enrichment and reprocessing on its territory and whether it has agreed to sign an Additional Protocol with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The bill would also make it U.S. policy to oppose, through the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the sale of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia until it gives up enrichment and reprocessing. It states Congress's view that the U.S. should not approve such an agreement until those conditions are met.
