Speaker 1 says signing is a first step toward civil nuclear cooperation

Speaker 1, Speaker, said at a signing event that the measure "serves as the first step toward a civil nuclear cooperation" and described the United States as prepared to partner with nations pursuing nonweaponized civil nuclear programs. "The United States is prepared to be a partner with any nation on earth that wants to pursue a civil nuclear program that clearly is not geared towards weaponization or threatening the security of their neighbors," Speaker 1 said.

Speaker 1 framed the signing as reinforcing existing ties, citing a free-trade agreement, cooperation with the U.S. Fifth Fleet and the Abraham Accords, and noted that the United Kingdom has joined a related comprehensive security, integration and prosperity agreement. "All of these things bring us closer together," Speaker 1 said.
