Trump said the Atomic Energy Commission (or an equivalent) should witness the process.<\/p>\n<p>The demand comes as renewed U.S.-iran peace talks-possibly leading to an agreement-are underway, which have helped avoid further U.S. airstrikes Trump had been considering. Still, many Republican lawmakers remain skeptical about Iran\u2019s intentions and whether any ceasefire or deal would be achieved in good faith. Trump also urged several Arab nations to join or expand the Abraham Accords, which normalize relations with Israel.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> reiterated his demand on Monday that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> hand over its enriched <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/uranium\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2794\">uranium<\/a> for the purpose of destruction, but he said it could be destroyed in the United States, Iran, or \u201canother <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >acceptable location\u201d deemed fit<\/a> by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/better-than-expected-u-s-economy-added-638000-jobs-in-october-unemployment-dropped-to-6-9\/\" title=\"Better Than Expected: U.S. Economy Added 638,000 Jobs in October, Unemployment Dropped to 6.9%\">federal government<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-cbp-chief-biden-invites-more-than-3000000-border-crossers-to-u-s\/\" title=\"Former CBP Chief: Biden Invites More than 3,000,000 Border Crossers to U.S.\">immediately turned<\/a> over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, being witness to this process and event,\u201d Trump <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116637404995923093\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116637404995923093\">wrote on Truth Social<\/a>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4581403\/trump-enriched-uranium-handed-over-destroyed\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump says enriched uranium will be handed over or destroyed \u2018immediately\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4581403\/trump-enriched-uranium-handed-over-destroyed-immediately\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump says enriched uranium will be handed over or destroyed \u2018immediately\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4581235\/watch-live-trump-memorial-day-remarks-arlington-national-cemetery\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>WATCH LIVE: Trump delivers Memorial Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran\u2019s transfer of its nuclear material has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senators-pressure-instagram-chief-adam-mosseri-to-support-big-tech-regulations-on-child-safety\/\" title=\"Senators Pressure Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri To Support Big Tech Regulations On Child Safety\">key demand<\/a> of the U.S. since the war began nearly three months ago.
