USA steals Venezuela's Uranium (enriched to 20%)
https://www.rt.com/news/639770-us-removes-venezuela-enriched-uranium/
> The US has triumphantly announced that it has removed 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 and transferred it to the US for processing and reuse. The quantity removed was 13.5 kg (30 pounds).
> The move “sends another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela,” the statement reads. It also hails “[US] President [Donald] Trump’s decisive leadership” on the issue.
> Despite the dramatic language surrounding the operation, the material had not been publicly linked to any imminent proliferation threat. The uranium originated from a Cold War-era civilian reactor near Caracas established under the “Atoms for Peace” program that ran from the mid-1950s through the 1970s.
The IAEA is, not unexpectedly, fake & gay on that matter:

> The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has played a key role in the successful shipment of high enriched uranium (HEU) from Venezuela to the United States, in a carefully planned joint mission carried out under tight security as such nuclear material can pose a proliferation risk or security threat if it falls into the wrong hands.
> Implementing a complex and sensitive operation, the three countries involved – the United Kingdom, the United States and Venezuela – and the IAEA worked closely together to ensure that the cargo of 13 kilograms of HEU was safely and securely transported by land and sea from South to North America.
> “This has been an example of the strong will, effective coordination, dedication and professionalism of all the parties involved,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
