We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country.

To the contrary, the claim 'the United States delivered lots of uranium to Russia' has it backwards!

Between 1993 to 2013, Russia sold the United States 15000 tonnes of low enriched uranium (LEU), downblended from 500 tonnes of weapons-grade high enriched uranium (HEU). This was the Megatons to Megawatts Program.

The idea of physicist Thomas Neff, the program was announced by President Bush in 1992 and signed by President Clinton in 1993. In the United States, the uranium fuel—at below market cost—powered as much as 10% of electricity for 20 years. In Russia, the program provided a bankrupt state the funding to secure and pacify weapons-grade uranium in crumbling facilities across five volatile young republics. In my opinion, superb policy.
