The United States is finalizing a multi-billion-dollar civil nuclear pact with Saudi Arabia that omits strict non-proliferation guardrails. The deal lacks the "gold standard" ban on uranium enrichment previously required for other regional partners. Investors in the nuclear sector face regulatory uncertainty as Congress has 90 days to block the agreement once signed.
