President Trump did something Washington careerists should have done long ago: he put American security and peace first by attaching a hard condition to the U.S.-Saudi civilian nuclear agreement — Saudi recognition of Israel through the Abraham Accords. The president made clear the pact “will be approved” only if Riyadh joins the Accords and agrees to no uranium enrichment on its soil, forcing real diplomacy instead of backroom giveaways.
The move came less than 24 hours after Energy Department officials quietly signed the agreement, and Mr. Trump’s public stipulation exposed the swamp’s tendency to cut deals that forget national interests. Career bureaucrats and globalist elites celebrate paper pacts; a commander-in-chief who answers to the American people uses leverage to secure peace and protect our strategic edge.
Senator Bill Hagerty was right to line up behind the president, praising a stance that finally makes our adversaries pay and strengthens American bargaining power in the region. Hagerty has consistently warned that we must starve Iran’s ambitions and rebuild our defense industrial base while refusing to reward bad actors — a message that dovetails with Trump’s tougher posture and urgent calls for robust defense spending.
On the home front, Hagerty’s push for the SAVE America Act and voter ID shows Republicans are serious about securing our elections while funding the military that keeps America free. The senator has repeatedly urged the Senate to act, even exploring procedural options to force a vote, because national security and election integrity are not negotiable. Conservatives should rally behind these twin priorities instead of ceding the field to soft-on-security Democrats.
Patriots should see Trump’s ultimatum to Saudi Arabia as a win for common-sense statecraft: no sensitive technology without real alignment with Israel and the West, and no enrichment that could spark a dangerous regional arms race. If Republicans in Congress match the president’s backbone — funding our military, demanding accountability from allies, and securing the vote at home — America will be safer and stronger for it.
