When asked if Iran would be allowed to keep its stock of highly-enriched uranium, US President Donald Trump has replied in the negative.

“We will get it. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, we’ll probably destroy it after we get it, but we’re not going to let them have it,” he tells reporters in the White House.
