Saying it's not necessary in words, but insisting it's essential in action—classic Trump-style negotiation opening.

Trump once again emphasized the need to acquire Iran's enriched uranium, calling this batch of "nuclear dust" a top priority, even though he personally does not believe it is necessary. He said the material could be buried and sealed away, but he would rather have it in hand; from a public relations perspective, it is not essential, but for fake news, obtaining this material is important. He stated that he would indeed get it and is closely monitoring Iran's nuclear facilities and any attempts to extract nuclear material.
