Saudi Arabia advances US nuclear enrichment deal and Guatemala sustainable‑tech cooperation

The United States has prepared a preliminary agreement that would allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium without the usual nuclear‑technology restrictions. The draft, known as a “123 agreement,” awaits the president’s signature and congressional review, and its finalization has been delayed amid regional tensions.

Separately, Saudi officials met with Guatemalan leaders in Riyadh to explore joint projects in infrastructure, agriculture, solar energy and water resources. The discussions focused on identifying high‑impact initiatives and did not include signed contracts or specific funding amounts, but they signal Saudi interest in supporting sustainable development in Central America.
