SloveniaThe new Slovenian government plans to sign a bilateral agreement with the United States on nuclear energy in the coming weeks, which could favor the American company Westinghouse in the construction of the second block at the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NEK2). This decision is expected to follow shortly after the arrival of the new U.S. ambassador to Slovenia, Asel Roberts, appointed by President Donald Trump.
