Trump says United States will get uranium from Iran

Iran has yet to hand over more than 408kg of highly enriched uranium

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States would get enriched uranium from Iran, as the two countries struggle to reach an agreement on ending the Gulf war.

"We're going to get it," Trump told a reporter as he left a White House event.

One of Trump's central objectives in launching military strikes against Iran was to ensure Tehran does not develop a nuclear weapon. Iran has yet to hand over more than 900 pounds (408 kg) of highly enriched uranium.
