Frustrated by Iran, Trump at last seizes enriched uranium
Donald Trump has succeeded in removing a country’s stash of highly enriched uranium – although that country is not Iran.
On Friday, the US Department of Energy announced that “thanks to President Trump’s decisive leadership” 13.5kg (about 30 pounds) of uranium had been removed from a legacy research reactor in Venezuela.
The department called the joint operation, involving the UK, the US and Venezuela, “a win for America, Venezuela, and the world”.
“The safe removal of all enriched uranium from Venezuela sends another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela,” Brandon Williams, the administrator of the department’s National Nuclear Security Administration, said.
