A US democratic congressman will introduce a bill in the House of Representatives that would severely limit nuclear technology trade with Saudi Arabia, according to a Vox report on Friday.

Congressman Brad Sherman’s bill, titled “No Nuclear Weapons for Saudi Arabia Act of 2018”, would not only prohibit the kingdom’s construction of nuclear weapons from the material it buys from the US, it would also force Saudi Arabia to uphold a number of strict regulations to ensure that classified material regarding US nuclear technology does not get leaked.

“I don’t think this bill would’ve passed prior to the events in Istanbul. Now I think we have a chance,” Sherman told Vox.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
