特朗普宣布对美沙民用核能合作协议附加新条件，要求沙特阿拉伯必须加入亚伯拉罕协议、承认以色列，方可获得美国批准该协议 [1][2]。
特朗普在社交媒体表示，该民用核能协议"将获得批准，但完全取决于沙特阿拉伯加入备受尊重和成功的亚伯拉罕协议" [1][2]。白宫新闻发言人卡罗琳·莱维特补充称，"他已表示如果沙特不加入亚伯拉罕协议，核协议就将被取消" [1]。
根据特朗普的表述，该协议专门用于非军事目的，"不允许铀浓缩" [1][2]。国务卿鲁比奥表示该协议将确保沙特与美国公司而非"竞争对手"合作 [2]。该核协议预计持续30年 [2]，并将被提交至美国国会审查 [1][2]。
需要指出的是，这一条件在协议于周三正式宣布时并未被提及，美国能源部和沙特政府当时均未涉及与以色列关系正常化的要求 [2]。这一新增条件引发国会、以色列官员和核专家的质疑 [2]。
沙特此前曾明确表示，与以色列实现关系正常化需要先建立巴勒斯坦独立国家的明确路径 [2]。以色列对特朗普的表态表示欢迎 [1]。沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼曾在2018年表示，"毫无疑问，如果伊朗研制核弹，我们将尽快跟进" [1]。
President Trump has made Saudi Arabia's recognition of Israel a prerequisite for a proposed civil nuclear cooperation agreement between the United States and the kingdom. [1][2] In a statement Thursday, Trump declared that "the Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!)... will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords." [1]
White House spokesperson Carolyn Leavitt reinforced the condition, stating "if they don't join the Abraham Accords, the deal is off." [1] The normalization requirement was notably absent when the agreement was initially announced on Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Saudi government. [2]
The proposed agreement, which is expected to last 30 years, [2] prohibits uranium enrichment and is strictly limited to civilian applications. [1][2] Secretary of State Rubio indicated the deal would ensure Saudi Arabia partners with American companies rather than competitors. [2]
Saudi Arabia has previously declined to join the Abraham Accords without a clearly defined pathway to establishing an independent Palestinian state. [2] The kingdom had previously warned that without such a pathway, it would not normalize relations with Israel. [1]
Israel has welcomed Trump's position on the matter. [1] The agreement is expected to be submitted to the U.S. Congress for review. [1][2] The announcement has drawn scrutiny from bipartisan members of Congress and nuclear experts. [2]
