US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has “agreed to everything”, including the removal of enriched uranium from the country.
Speaking by phone to CBS, the BBC’s US partner, Trump says that the removal of the material would not involve American ground troops, while also saying that “we’ll be getting it together [with the Iranians]”.
“We’ll go down and get it with them, and then we’ll take it,” he says. “We’ll have an agreement and there’s no need for fighting when there’s an agreement.”
The uranium would then be brought to the United States, he says.
When the US and Iran called a temporary ceasefire last week, enriched uranium emerged as a point of contention, with Iran’s National Security Council (SNSC) saying that the truce outlined an “acceptance of [uranium] enrichment”, despite US claims to the contrary.
