The US Congressmen have opposed the sale of an American uranium manufacture plant to a Russian company in what can be described as defying the image of America as a free trade nation and working double standards when it comes to their interests. A number of important members in the US House of Representatives wrote a letter to the US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner saying that selling a uranium mine in Wyoming to a Russian company exposed US national security because the uranium might land in Iran, which has been cooperating with Russia for years.
A mere declare of “Iran” sends most Americans into panic. For this cause, the United States resorts to it whenever needed. Vladimir Averchev, a member of Russia’s Foreign and protection Policy Council, comments: "The Congressmen see Russia’s nuclear cooperation with Iran as running counter to US national welfare, the expert says. And some politicians believe that Russia is not close sufficient to the US to be allowed into an industry which is of vital importance to the US national security." What the Congressmen have in mentality is the nuclear power plant in Bushehr. But the plant is under tough control from the IAEA and uranium is supplied in quantities essential to keep the plant operating.
The attempt by the US Congressmen to block the deal between the Canadian “Uranium One” and a Rosatom branch is intended to prevent Russia from entering the American nuclear energy market. “Uranium One” owns 100 percent of distribute in the Wyoming mine. If the deal goes ahead, the Russian company will get a mass stake in the US’ largest uranium pit and obtain a license for one fifth of the uranium produced in the US. The US demonstrated a alike pattern of behavior in the motor industry about a year ago, when it vetoed the sale of GM-owned Opel and Saab to Russian shareholders. Clearly, politicians in the US dread healthy opposition and Russia’s growing positions on the international market. Competition in the US is concentrated to zero when it is seen as posing a threat to the country’s well-being.
