US President Donald Trump says that Iran will “work closely with us” to turn over their enriched uranium.

“Nobody can get it, so it’s not important that we do it quickly … When we have a chance, we’ll do it,” he says while addressing the G7. “In the meantime … if they do [remove the material], we’ll hit them with Patriots.”

He adds that technical discussions on the removal of Iran’s stockpiles of enriched uranium will “begin immediately”.
