All the risks he's taken, and by the way, he faces a risk to his regime, spent a half a trillion dollars to do this.
It makes no commercial sense.
But let's take him at his word that he wants civilian nuclear energy.
Let's build it for him.
As long as there's no enrichment or reprocessing that gives him the key capabilities that he could if he decides to build nuclear weapons.
That seems to me a thoughtful decision.
I think Scott would probably agree with it.
Proliferation proof.
He can't build nuclear weapons and we can do this all peacefully.
That's my preference.
What can Trump do to help make that happen?
I think what he can do is he can say to the Iranians, look, I made you that offer last time.
You rejected it.
Now, that offer is no longer on the table because that offer gave you enrichment.
Now, temporarily, but I now see the game that you would have played when I left office to turn that enrichment and enrichment capability into nuclear weapons.
So that deal's off the table.
But here's the deal that's on the table.
It's a one-page deal.
You give up your nuclear capabilities.
We help you build civilian nuclear energy.
