Trump Calls Retrieval of Iran's Enriched Uranium More PR Than Necessity

US President Donald Trump described efforts to retrieve Iran's enriched uranium as largely a public relations move, noting that the US maintains continuous surveillance over Iranian nuclear sites. While he expressed a preference for the uranium to be under American control, he downplayed its immediate necessity. Trump highlighted fluctuating Iranian positions during negotiations and referenced past US-Israeli strikes on the sites. The uranium issue remains a key point in ongoing ceasefire talks between Washington and Tehran.
