A group of 17 US senators, representing both the Democratic and Republican parties, has sent a request to the administration of President Donald Trump demanding the declassification of all documents related to the civilian nuclear program agreement with Saudi Arabia. The senators are particularly interested in two secret additional letters that were sent to Riyadh. The appeal was addressed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. In a letter obtained by Reuters, the senators emphasize the need to provide the full text of the documents so that the public and the Senate can fully understand the commitments made on behalf of the United States and Saudi Arabia. This demand reflects bipartisan concern over the transparency of nuclear cooperation with the kingdom.
