Bill > HRes795

This Resolution acknowledges the growing energy needs of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman, as their demand for energy, particularly natural gas, is projected to increase significantly. It highlights the substantial investment in energy infrastructure within these nations and their prior interest in utilizing nuclear energy peacefully. The Resolution expresses concern that Russian or Chinese dominance in the region's nuclear power sector poses a national security threat, potentially leading to negative long-term influence on nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation. Therefore, it calls for a strategy to promote the peaceful use of United States energy technologies in the GCC, encourages the President to support U.S. commercial opportunities in these developing energy markets, and recommends that the Department of State actively seek agreements for peaceful nuclear cooperation with GCC countries, aligning with U.S. nonproliferation goals and supporting American industry.
