Trump reiterates demand for Iran to surrender enriched uranium

U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated on May 21 that Iran must surrender its highly enriched uranium, stating that the U.S. would likely destroy the material after securing it. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the U.S. will secure the uranium, which he noted the country neither needs nor wants, and will therefore most likely destroy it. He added that the U.S. and Iran are currently in negotiations and the outcome remains to be seen. Trump has previously made similar demands. On May 10, he stated that the U.S. Space Force was monitoring Iranian enriched uranium buried under debris, according to U.S. sources.
