US moves to block uranium enrichment don't faze PM.


Prime Minister John Howard says he is not worried about the United States program to discourage other countries from entering the uranium enrichment industry.
US President George W Bush is pursuing a global nuclear energy partnership, which seeks to curb the expansion of uranium enrichment beyond nations that already have the capacity.
A Federal Government inquiry is considering whether uranium enrichment should be conducted in Australia.
Mr Howard says he is not concerned about the US position against such a move.
"I don't need to talk to the US President every day about everything that pops up," Mr Howard said.
"I mean he's running his own country and I'm Prime Minister of Australia and we sort of go our separate ways - we don't talk to each other each few days," he said.
