Bill overview
This bill, known as the Stopping Activities Underpinning Development In Weapons of Mass Destruction Act or the SAUDI WMD Act, aims to curb Saudi Arabia’s potential pursuit of nuclear weapons. It restricts the sale of specific military items to Saudi Arabia if the country has taken steps towards developing nuclear weapons, requires the President to report on foreign entities involved in prohibited trade, and mandates a Department of State and Energy report on MTCR compliance and a strategy to prevent nuclear proliferation in the Middle East. The bill also prohibits U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia related to nuclear technology unless certain safeguards are in place.
