President Trump’s announcement approving a landmark 30-year U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear agreement is the geopolitical evolution of those early efforts, but it fundamentally reverses the core premise of the 2017 proposal by completely shutting Russia out of the deal.
While both plans target the same massive Middle Eastern market, the original 2017 plan relied on a U.S.-Russian consortium, whereas today's deal is explicitly designed to maximize American corporate dominance while blocking geopolitical rivals.
The Evolution: 2017 Consortium vs. Today's Deal
The 2017 Flynn-McFarland Plan: Pushed heavily by former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, K.T. McFarland, and financier Tom Barrack, this original concept—often referred to as the "Middle East Marshall Plan"—was backed by a consortium called IP3 International and ACU Strategic Partners. It proposed utilizing Russian-designed VVER-1200 reactors to build a massive regional nuclear power grid. At the time, whistleblowers and national security officials fiercely opposed it because it bypassed standard diplomatic policy reviews and mixed U.S. interests directly with Russian state companies.
The Today's Deal: Under the finalized Section 123 Agreement, President Trump has shifted the strategy entirely to an America-first framework. Instead of buying Russian reactors, American firms will have the exclusive central role in building and managing Saudi Arabia's civilian nuclear infrastructure. The Enrichment Twist: To secure the deal with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Trump administration made an unprecedented concession: allowing a joint feasibility study that could lead to a U.S.-built, "black box" uranium enrichment facility inside Saudi Arabia. The facility would be managed by Americans, effectively barring Saudi Arabia from partnering with Russia or China for domestic enrichment for at least a decade. Key Organizations and Figures Involved If Congress approves the deal, it will create the largest single commercial energy infrastructure project in the world. The key players driving this multi-billion dollar initiative include: The Trump Administration: Key architects executing this deal include U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who traveled to Riyadh to finalize commercial terms with his Saudi counterparts, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is managing the diplomatic rollout and defending against nuclear non-proliferation critics. The Saudi Leadership: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the Saudi Ministry of Energy are the primary buyers, using their immense state funds to secure domestic fuel-cycle capabilities amidst a tense, ongoing war against regional rival Iran. U.S. Nuclear Technology Giants: While the specific consortium of private companies has not yet been fully made public due to proprietary business protections, the infrastructure mandates point to premier U.S. nuclear engineering firms and contractors (such as Westinghouse Electric Company and major U.S. enrichment specialists like Centrus Energy) to build out the physical reactors and centrifuges. Congress (The Approving Body): The deal faces an intense 90-day review period in the U.S. Congress. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are highly concerned that bypassing traditional IAEA "gold standard" safeguards could trigger a dangerous nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
You are wrong about SC. Jaime Harrison almost unseated Lindsey 6 years ago. We are not happy the democrats don't focus and support winning the SC senator seat.
We have a weekend news anchor as head of the dod We have a podcaster as head of the fbi We have a drunken stew hack as head prosecutor in DC We have a dementia patient sitting in our oval office playing with his vanity projects and gluing golden objects to the walls… WTF… Oh and we have 2 illegitimate wealthy morons flying around the world making backdoor deals with foreign adversaries..
Jessica says if you are close to Donald Trump you are getting richer. Guess what, her too, every single person that is in the media right now is making money. thats all they do is talk Trump all day long and profit. How can they not see this. He is their cash cow for the next 2 years. All their income is going to be lost once he leaves office. I hope they enjoy the karma.
Aaron is going bald, and burned his crown hair, not knowing the proper way to use shampoo and conditioner. how funny to see this in a grown man. what goes around, comes around.
Asking Americans to provide ID equates to a poll tax which is not constitutional. If ID you can use to vote was free it would be legal . We show ID in Canada . It’s not that big of a deal but we know why republicans want this and they want to attach more crap to them
The ASTRONOMICAL amount Kegsbreath got this past year that HE then DID NOT give to our service members, and we know that because the world got to see what our soldiers were eating, tge conditions of their living quarters, and the loss of life due to leaderships failure in operational security!
How brainwashed do you have to be to enlist in the US military after that whole false narrative of WMDs thing leading up to the Iraq War? 4,508 dead US military personnel in order to enrich the elite. And now Iran? Good luck everybody.
