April 17 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump announced Iran had agreed to hand over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, paving the way for a continuation of peace negotiations he said would resume as early as this weekend.
Speaking outside the White House on Thursday before departing for an engagement in Las Vegas, Trump said Iran had agreed "very powerfully" that it would not develop a nuclear weapon, agreeing to "give us back the nuclear dust that's way underground because of the attack we made with the B2 bombers [in 2025]."
"So very important that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they've agreed to that. Iran's agreed to that, and they've agreed to it very powerfully. We have a lot of agreement with Iran and I think something's going to happen very positively. It's a very complicated subject, but I think we're moving very fast. It could happen pretty quickly.
"We're very close to a deal. They've agreed to almost everything. So maybe, if they can get to the table with a pen, we'll have that over with," he added.
