Selling the technology of enrichment that they are asking for since last 20 years. Having natural uranium ore is one thing and having technology is absolutely different.Selling what? KSA has 5-10% of the world's uranium reserves. KSA has already been excavating uranium within KSA for many years. There are dozens of smaller research nuclear power reactors within KSA. As well as 100's (if not 1000's nowadays) Saudi Arabian nuclear engineers and scientists.
Only stumble block is the establishment of nuclear power plants and a nuclear energy infrastructure within KSA (whether with the US or another country - it will occur - just a question of time).
The missiles and missile bases are already there as well.
KSA likely already has several nuclear warheads courtesy of Pakistan.
So it is a question of time before KSA will be able to master the full nuclear cycle and enrich uranium within KSA.
Similar to what Japan and many other countries could do relatively quickly. In fact most developed countries with access to uranium, could do with a bit of work and time.
How did Pakistan, North Korea (lol) and India acquire nuclear weapons? Did they wait for some permission?
If Saudi Arabia has the audacity to to take part that Pakistan or India took they are more then welcome to acquire it. If even they think of trying to get their hands on neuclear technology covertly with US consent then probably that would be the last day of Alsaud reign.
