US Energy Secretary Rick Perry has approved six secret authorizations by companies to sell nuclear power technology assistance to Saudi Arabia. RT correspondent Brigida Santos joins me now with the story. Brigida, before we go into too much detail, give me an idea of what the story's about.
Perry has approved at least six Part 810 authorizations, which allow American companies to start working on nuclear power technology that can be transferred to a foreign government. Now in this case, it would be transferred in, hopefully in their case, to Saudi Arabia. And that's because the kingdom is currently reviewing competing bids from companies in the United States, in Russia and South Korea as Saudi Arabia gears up to build two nuclear power plants. Now, Saudi Arabia says that it's not going to announce the winner of these contracts until later this year. So until then, these authorized US companies are going to be working merely to convince the Saudis to choose American products like nuclear reactors and other services over those of their competitors. However, the authorizations have come under scrutiny because they were carried out in secret. Now, Perry claims secrecy is necessary to protect the company's proprietary information, but normally nuclear authorizations are disclosed to the public at the time of taping that has yet to happen.
Okay, well first of all, let, let's go back and talk about this guy a little bit, this Rick Perry. This guy is not exactly, you know, the sharpest tool in the shed. This is the guy, if you remember, he, he, he couldn't name three agencies that he said he wanted to abolish. He wanted to abolish three agencies. They asked him, well, what are the agencies? He couldn't even name the agencies that he wanted to abolish. He thought the voting age in the United States was 21. He called social security a ponzi scheme. So I guess what I'm getting at here Brigida this is the guy who wants to sell nuclear technology to the Saudi Arabia, to Saudi Arabia. Technology that has never been disclosed to them. They don't need it for power. They've got all the power they need. They've got oil, they've got deserts for wind power. They've got solar power. It's not about power. They want to build arms, they want to build weapons. And so this genius says, yeah, this is a guy we're allowing to make a decision like this. What's the reaction to buy US lawmakers about this character making decisions like this? What's their reaction?
Lawmakers on both side of the isle are worried that if the US wins this bid, Saudi Arabia will develop nuclear weapons and spawn a nuclear arms race in the Middle East unless proper safeguards are implemented. And that's because Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has previously said that his country will develop nuclear weapons if its rival Iran does. And now that the Trump administration has pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, MBS' stated plan is not completely out of the realm of possibility. Now, of course, the Iranians have not, according to reports, violated terms of the agreement, even though it's been tossed out. So it's also unclear whether the kingdom is even going to agree to American anti proliferation standards or whether the US is even going to impose them this time around.
