Trump’s inner circle stands to gain from Saudi nuclear energy deal – report

A new report indicates that a potential US-Saudi Arabian civilian nuclear energy deal could financially benefit members of President Donald Trump's inner circle. The White House recently announced a civilian nuclear pact with Riyadh, though its finalization is contingent on Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel, which Saudi Arabia has linked to Palestinian statehood. Should the deal proceed, firms connected to Trump's sons, top cabinet members, and major donors, including Quantum Leap Energy and General Matter, could profit from reactor construction and nuclear fuel supply. A White House spokeswoman denied any ulterior motives, stating, "The media’s continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible." Israeli officials have voiced concerns that such a deal could trigger a regional nuclear arms race and diminish leverage for Israeli-Saudi normalization.
