Meanwhile, the Trump administration is also encouraging Saudi Arabia to cooperate with the US in the sphere of nuclear energy. In particular, to deal with Westinghouse Electric and other US companies to build nuclear reactors and allow uranium enrichment. However, previous US agreements during the Obama administration have prohibited the enrichment and reprocessing of uranium. The Trump administration is currently trying to ease that requirement.
