The next step in doing so is implementing the U.S.-Saudi Arabia 123 Agreement, which would allow the U.S. and its agreement partner to engage in peaceful commercial nuclear trade under agreed safety and nonproliferation rules. Both the Non-Proliferation Treaty and 123 Agreement require inspections and multiple layers of safety and nonproliferation protocols. In reality, the 123 Agreement preserves American influence and can, it must be noted, be terminated if it is violated. Absent a 123 Agreement, Saudi Arabia would most definitely turn to Russia or China to provide it commercial nuclear technology, and that absolutely would not put America first. That requires the efficient passage of the U.S.-Saudi 123 Agreement.
