Trump’s Washington Swamp triumphantly announces that it has seized highly enriched uranium (HEU) from Venezuela in what the US Department of Energy (DOE) hailed as a victory for America and the world.

In a statement on Friday, the DOE said it had completed the removal of all remaining enriched uranium from a legacy research reactor in the South American nation to the United States.

The uranium was transferred to the nuclear-power-rich US for processing and reuse. The quantity forcibly taken was 13.5 kg (30 pounds).

Washington imposed itself on Caracas after US forces abducted and imprisoned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January over fake narcoterrorism allegations.

The uranium (for peace) originated from a Cold War-era civilian reactor near Caracas. It was established under the ’Atoms for Peace’ program that ran from the mid-1950s through the 1970s.

Even at the height of Washington’s hostility toward Maduro, US accusations against Caracas centered on drug trafficking and corruption, not on any Venezuelan nuclear threat to the American homeland.

The announcement of the theft comes as the US has reached an impasse with Iran over its far larger stockpile of enriched uranium, estimated at roughly 440 kg.

Washington has demanded Iran surrender, export, or dilute its highly enriched uranium stockpile, pushing for a long-term suspension of enrichment along with strict verification measures.

Iranian officials have rejected these demands as ’maximalist,’ insisting enrichment is a sovereign right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
