US to recover uranium from Iran, Trump tells Reuters

President Donald Trump told Reuters on Friday that the ‌U.S. will work with Iran to recover its enriched uranium and bring it back to the United States.

"We're going to get ⁠it together. We're going to go in with Iran, at a nice leisurely pace, and go down and start excavating with big machinery... We'll bring it back to the United States," ‌Trump ⁠said during a phone interview.

He referred to "nuclear dust" and added that it would be retrieved "very soon."

Trump's ⁠mention of "nuclear dust" is a reference to what he believes remains after ⁠the United States and Israel bombed Iran's nuclear installations ⁠in June last year.
