US signs landmark nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia
"Together, these two agreements lay the legal foundation for a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar partnership that advances several priority economic and strategic objectives, including nuclear nonproliferation," the statement reads. Several Democrats who voiced opposition to the deal noted that during his time as a senator, Rubio had endorsed a law - the "No Nuclear Weapons for Saudi Arabia Act" - which required Congress to sign off on a nuclear deal with the Saudis. But that demand appears to have been dropped as a condition for the deal, according to US media reports.
