Asked if there’s an operation in place to recover the 400-plus kilograms of highly enriched uranium from Iran, US President Donald Trump responds, “No, not at all.”

“We’re not focused on that. But at some point we might be,” Trump says on Fox News radio. “Right now we’re focused on knocking the hell out of their missiles and their drones.”
