Donald Trump suggested that efforts to locate and secure Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium may be driven “more for public relations than anything else,” even as the issue remains central to fragile ceasefire negotiations following the 10-week US-Israel conflict with Tehran. Speaking to Fox News from China, Trump said he would still prefer the uranium to be under American control but questioned its immediate strategic significance. The remarks came after Benjamin Netanyahu declared the conflict was “not over” and insisted Iran’s sensitive nuclear material “has to be taken out” of the country as part of any lasting settlement agreement.
