Saudi's GENIUS STRATEGY For Nuclear Technology Changes Everything!
#saudiarabia #economy #nuclear
Reports from Saudi officials suggest that the de-facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, is seeking better access to US nuclear technology by playing global powers against each other.
Saudi Arabia has moved closer to US adversaries such as China and Russia in the past few months while also causing tensions with the US. Analysts have told reporters that the Crown Prince's actions seem to be part of his power play. They believe this move is due to the perceived decrease in US influence in the region.
In addition, the Wall Street Journal has stated that the Crown Prince could use his relationship with China and Russia to build a stronger security partnership with the US.

According to Gulf research fellow Cinzia Bianco at the European Council on Foreign Relations think tank, Saudi Arabia has suggested establishing normal relations with Israel if the United States gives security guarantees and help with its civilian nuclear program.
Bianco also stated that the Saudis are currently interacting with numerous nations such as China, the US, Russia, Iran, and the Europeans and are unclear about their intentions or final objectives.
The point is to create confusion so that people are left wondering what Saudi Arabia is up to. In October 2022, the Biden administration accused Saudi Arabia of siding with Russia by cutting oil production.
The US believed it had made a deal with Riyadh to increase production to curb domestic inflation. A diplomatic dispute was caused by the disagreement, and it resulted in both nations engaging in name calling.
In December, Chinese President Xi Jinping was invited to Saudi Arabia for a grand summit by Crown Prince Mohammed.
The leaders agreed to collaborate on various foreign policy and economic objectives during the summit. But the White House criticized the summit, stating that China was not a trustworthy partner.
It has been noted that China aims to solidify its position as the leading global power in the region in competition with the US. Recently, there were talks mediated by China between Saudi Arabia and Iran, both of whom have been involved in proxy conflicts.
Despite this, Saudi Arabia has also taken steps to please the US. They declared that they would provide significant aid to Ukraine, which is an ally of the US, in its conflict against Russia.
Moreover, they announced a deal with Boeing last week to construct a new fleet of planes, which was commended by the White House. The balancing act seems to be founded on Saudi Arabia's assessment that the US will need to make concessions to keep the alliance and counter China's increasing influence.
Saudi Arabia has sought a civilian nuclear program and improved access to US weapons for a long time, and they stated that these objectives would be the cost of normalizing relations with Israel.
The New York Times reported that US officials are cautious about supplying nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. They are concerned that Saudi Arabia may try to create nuclear weapons, especially since there are concerns that Iran is resuming its nuclear program.
It was announced by Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman in January 2023 that the Kingdom has discovered indigenous uranium reserves.
And plans to develop a front-end nuclear fuel-cycle infrastructure are being advanced with a domestic and international dimension.
The Saudi minister also mentioned that joint ventures with willing partners might be involved and that compliance with international standards of transparency would be followed.
It wasn't much of a shocker when he made those comments. During a meeting in 2022, bin Salman declared that the Kingdom aimed to use its extensive uranium reserves "in the most transparent manner."
However, despite the statement, the international community became increasingly worried about Saudi Arabia's intentions, especially given the regional situation where Iran reportedly enriches uranium at even higher levels.
In the late 1980s, the Saudi government established an Atomic Energy Research Institute in the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, showing their interest in civilian nuclear technology.
And in June 2011, Abdul Ghani bin Melaibari from the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy announced plans to build 16 nuclear reactors in 20 years.
He also mentioned that the reactors would eventually produce about 20% of the country's electricity. The King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy was set up in 2010 to diversify the country's energy sources.
