Hunter Biden Questions Jared Kushner's $2 Billion Saudi Windfall, LIV Golf Deal as Trump Signs Nuclear Pact: 'The First Time...United States Has Ever...'

Hunter Biden sharply criticized a newly announced U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear agreement and highlighted financial ties between Saudi Arabia and figures close to former President Donald Trump, questioning how Washington can oppose Iran’s uranium enrichment while supporting a deal that he said would "help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium." Biden pointed to a reported $2 billion Saudi investment in Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, a $6 billion funding for LIV Golf, and billions in Trump-branded real estate deals as evidence of deep financial connections between the kingdom and the former president’s circle.

"We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we 'obliterated' over a year ago. Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium. The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil. The Saudis…"

Hunter Biden posted the comments on X as the White House and the Saudi government moved forward with a civil nuclear cooperation agreement reportedly aimed at supporting Saudi Arabia’s civilian nuclear program. The deal, officials say, would be limited to peaceful civilian nuclear use and modeled on arrangements like those in the United Arab Emirates, but it has drawn alarm from nonproliferation experts who warned the pact could give the kingdom a pathway to develop nuclear weapons.

Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners has been thrust into the center of scrutiny over foreign investments. The firm has grown to manage $5.4 billion in assets, fueled in part by a $2 billion Saudi investment received shortly after the first Trump administration ended. Despite that capital infusion, Affinity Partners "has yet to generate profits for investors," according to reporting, and the firm’s involvement in the high-profile $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts Inc. has increased scrutiny of Kushner’s business dealings.

Kushner has pushed back on suggestions that those ties present conflicts of interest, arguing that his foreign relationships reflect "valuable experience and trusted relationships" that have, in his view, advanced diplomatic efforts in the region. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the specific financial claims cited by Hunter Biden.

Beyond Affinity Partners, Hunter Biden called attention to Saudi funding for LIV Golf—reported at $6 billion—and other investments in Trump-branded real estate, portraying a broad set of economic links between Saudi capital and the Trump network. On the diplomatic front, former President Trump said the U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal would only proceed if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords, and he emphasized the agreement's civilian focus and potential to create "billions of dollars in opportunities for U.S. nuclear companies," pending congressional review.

Critics warn the pact could heighten proliferation risks and fuel a regional arms race, while supporters say it strengthens bilateral ties and counters Chinese and Russian influence. Saudi Arabia has also pledged to increase its U.S. investments to nearly $1 trillion as part of the broader engagement framework. With Congress slated to review any civil nuclear cooperation agreement, the debate over strategic, economic and nonproliferation implications is likely to play out in the coming weeks and months.
