Is Trump's nuclear technology exchange with Saudi Arabia a national security problem?

U.S. companies have been given the go-ahead to secretly sell nuclear power assistance and technology to Saudi Arabia. Sharing nuclear data and technology with the Saudis could potentially lead to a “nuclear arms race in the Middle East.” The US Energy and State departments have refused to share information about this exchange with congressional committees that have jurisdiction over such matters. Even worse, the regulations list nations that can receive such nuclear data and Saudi Arabia is not on that list. And Saudi Arabia has refused to sign an agreement not to enrich uranium for use in nuclear weapons. Has the Trump family's relationship with the Saudi royal family gone too far?

Your info is old. The arms race for nukes started 8 years ago. We are just late to the game. Did you notice PAK and Iran? Was Iran on the authorized list.... not the pre-1979 Iran...but todays Iran.

You've heard of Star Trek Wrath of Khan? Well Khan of Pakistan pretty much sells his nuclear technology to anybody including North Korea. Since Iran is most likely with a clandestine nuclear program going on under the noses of the iaea, Saudi Arabia is forced to arm itself. We don't like it either. Maybe it's because we want to make sure they have some control of it. This is a tough question to ask especially when a country like Iran fires long-range missiles and satellites and has nuclear technology that they won't let the iaea inspectors see in their reinforced Mountain military Laboratories. the head Ayatollah said years ago in so many words' hell no we will not let them inspect our military facilities'. Iran wants to destroy Israel so I would not be surprised that Iran actually has a nuclear weapon, which they can get some from North Korea pretty easily because they are friends, forcing Saudi Arabia to come up with some kind of defensive measure. Just my opinion.

Let’s see. Clinton gave China dual use technology. No comments. Obama gives Iran a S-Ton of cash for what exactly? No outrage. Trump supports an ally! Treason.

And how did you become privy to all this cloak and dagger stuff that is allegedly secret; or gain reliable information of the relationship between the Trump family and the Saudis. I think people here have more important things to consider than partisan BS
