It's not exactly a lie. In many ways, we gave them 20% of our reserves to manipulate pricing and availability as they please. Helps them to be the dominant price setter on the Intl market. I just TOLD you -- they now decide how much to take out of that ground, IN THE USA, every year. And by buying up the production in Uzbek and other places, they can make us MORE dependent on them.
You're just not getting it. If there's a sudden need to increase nuclear capacity (and there should be for commercial power) -- how do we put sanctions on a country that can literally price us OUT of the nuclear fuel market? You're re-posting partisan talking points and IGNORING the realities of the thinking points.
I don't think Trump ever once said Hillary is trying to help Russia corner the market on uranium so they can price us out of the market. Not once. He continues to say Hillary gave them 20% of our uranium.
However to your argument.
Sources and shares of purchases of uranium produced in foreign countries in 2016:
Where Our Uranium Comes From - Energy Explained, Your Guide To Understanding Energy - Energy Information Administration
- Canada–25%
- Kazakhstan–24%
- Australia–20%
- Russia–14%
- Uzbekistan–4%
- Malawi, Namibia, Niger, and South Africa–10%
- Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Germany, and Ukraine–2%

That's WHERE IT'S FROM. Not who CONTROLS the production. You're still not getting it..
NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will
remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. .
Doesn't refute a single point I made. The Russian company determines investment, production rates and pricing. These are just talking points in a useless attempt to justify this bad deal...
opposed to your RW rhetoric which doesn't prove a single point either ... mmmmmmmmkay.
I'm not RW. Could out-Liberal you everyday without breaking a sweat.
I just gave the many strategic DANGERS of this deal. Dangers that question the honesty and truthfulness of the deal-makers. It's not about EXPORTING. Foreign govts given rights to extracting nat. resources can harm us in ANY NUMBER of ways that leftists don't seem to understand.
You cannot refute the dangers I gave you. Nor could a PATRIOTIC politico making those kinds of decisions.
It's collusion.. For some damn reason. Shouldn't have EVER happened.
