The Obama deal allowed the accumulation of stockpiled weapons grade material. Ours is actually leading to the destruction of that stockpile of enriched materials. So there are many differences. The Obama deal gave them over a billion dollars of American money. This deal gives them $0 of American money. So a lot of substantive differences. But I think the most important differences are where we're coming at it from a position of strength and the fact that our Gulf coast partners love this deal. (22:01–22:09)
