Blinken discusses ISIS and nuclear aid with Saudi Arabia.
TL;DR Summary
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has said that the kingdom would welcome US aid in building its civilian nuclear program, but "there are others that are bidding." The comments came after reports that Saudi Arabia is asking for US aid in building its own nuclear program in exchange for establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. The US has been forced to recalibrate its alliance with Saudi Arabia as the oil-rich kingdom seeks to transform itself into a global player untethered from Washington.
