Episode Details

The Trump administration is pursuing a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia—but critics warn it could reshape the balance of power across the Middle East. As negotiations continue, concerns are growing that allowing uranium enrichment in Saudi Arabia could encourage other regional powers to pursue similar nuclear capabilities, raising fears of a new arms race.

In this episode of Lichtman Live, Professor Allan Lichtman examines the proposed U.S.–Saudi nuclear agreement, the historical lessons of nuclear proliferation, and what this deal could mean for regional security, U.S. foreign policy, Israel, Iran, and America's long-term strategic interests.
