Israel Warns of 'Red Lines' Over US-Riyadh Nuclear Reactors Deal – Reports

Earlier this year, Riyadh announced plans to allocate more than 80 billion dollars for the construction of 16 nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia over the next 25 years. Right now, Saudi authorities are reportedly trying to wrap up a corresponding deal with their US counterparts.

US President Donald Trump has been presented with Tel Aviv's "red lines" pertaining to a possible agreement whereby Washington would help Saudi Arabia build nuclear reactors, according to a report by Israel's Channel 10 News.

The report said that a couple of weeks ago, Israeli Energy Minister and head of the country's Atomic Energy Commission Yuval Steinitz met US counterpart Rick Perry in Washington to allegedly express concern over potential uranium enrichment in Saudi Arabia.
