Trump Rejects Uranium Enrichment in Potential Iran Deal
Trump is saying he won't allow Iran to enrich uranium, even a little bit.
He wants them to get rid of their entire nuclear program.
This is part of talks between the U.S. and Iran to avoid a fight.
The U.S. had offered a plan that let Iran enrich uranium a bit for things like medicine, but Trump rejected this.
Iran denies wanting a nuclear bomb and doesn't want to completely stop enriching uranium.
This difference of opinion could make it tough to agree on a deal.
Trump said the U.S. won't allow any uranium enrichment by Iran.
Trump appears to have undercut a proposal by his envoy, Steve Witkoff.
The proposal offered by Witkoff would have allowed low-level enrichment.
Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons but refuses to end all enrichment.
Negotiations are ongoing to avoid military conflict.
