Trump Opposes Russian or Chinese Custody of Iran's Uranium

Donald Trump has voiced his reluctance over allowing either Russia or China to assume control of Iran's enriched uranium reserves. On Wednesday, he stated his preference for the stockpile to be turned over to the US or destroyed at an approved location.

Russia and China, being in close relations with Tehran, were considered potential third parties in dealing with Iran's uranium for a potential agreement. This remark marks a slight shift from Trump's previous stance, where he strongly advocated for US control over Iran's uranium.

In a recent Truth Social post, Trump mentioned that the uranium, possibly buried under sites previously struck by US airstrikes, could be handed over or destroyed, with international monitoring to ensure transparency in the process.
