In a moment that extends the long arc of American-Saudi partnership into new territory, the Trump administration has formalized a commercial nuclear agreement granting U.S. firms priority access to the reactors, fuel, and infrastructure Saudi Arabia will require over the coming decades.

More than a commercial transaction, it represents a strategic wager that the energy technologies of tomorrow will bind nations as durably as oil once did.
