Putin's secret proposal to Trump — what it's all about
According to anonymous sources, the American leader immediately rejected the idea of a Russian dictator.
Putin tried to convince Trump that he would help remove Iran's nuclear stockpiles without the introduction of US or Israeli troops into Iranian territory.
What is important to understand is that taking control of 450 kilograms of Iranian uranium enriched to 60% is one of the key military goals of the US and Israel.
Experts say it could be converted into military-grade uranium in a matter of weeks. In fact, it is estimated that this amount would be enough to make more than 10 nuclear bombs.
Putin's secret proposal was made on March 9, during his last telephone conversation with Donald Trump.
According to one of the anonymous sources, this was not the first time she had been nominated.
"It was not accepted. The US position is that we have to make sure that the uranium is secured," one of the insiders told the media.
