The landmark cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia has unleashed chaos at the White House, sources told CNN, as Trump scrambles to assure lawmakers and voters that it’s not the no-strings giveaway it appears to be. The White House had asked the Energy Department to hold off finalizing the pact, but Energy Secretary Chris Wright seems to have gone ahead regardless. Critics warn the deal could allow Saudi Arabia, led by de factor ruler Prince Mohamed bin Salman, to develop nuclear weapons. White House aides say it’s squarely the fault of the Energy Department. The official narrative is that Trump’s energy team is “fully aligned, and always has been,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told CNN.
