The U.S. government has concluded it cannot convince Vietnam not to enrich its own uranium as part of a civil nuclear agreement between both countries, according to two congressional aides. The U.S. has been seeking a "no-enrichment pledge" from Vietnam, much like its pact with the United Arab Emirates. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, meanwhile, said that should any country pursue enrichment, the U.S. "would prospectively work with that country" to ensure that its program complies with international nuclear standards.
