Blinken's Visit to Saudi Arabia: Strengthening Ties and Expanding Accords
TL;DR Summary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated that he will continue to work towards normalizing diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel, despite the kingdom's resistance to the idea. Blinken's Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, expressed hope that the US would aid Saudi Arabia's bid to generate nuclear power, but neither addressed whether US support for the country's civilian nuclear program could be given in exchange for normalization with Israel. Riyadh has reportedly sought such a deal, but has refused to agree to limits on nuclear enrichment and reprocessing.
