Trump Rules Out Iran Sanctions Relief for Giving Up Uranium as White House Says Talks Proceed Nicely
President Donald Trump said the US will offer no sanctions relief to Iran in exchange for giving up uranium, sharpening Washington’s position on a key sticking point even as the White House said negotiations were “proceeding nicely.” The White House also said Trump has set clear red lines for any agreement with Tehran.
The remarks add a firmer US condition after Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said earlier that talks could still take a few days and were down to disputes over the wording of a preliminary document. The fate of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have remained central issues in the negotiations, while Iran has denied making preliminary commitments on its nuclear program.
