Trump: ‘I don’t think about’ Americans’ financial situation in Iran negotiations
Trump said preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon matters more than rising gas prices and inflation, drawing bipartisan criticism.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump departed the White House for a state visit to Beijing, stating that Americans' financial situation is "not even a little bit" a factor in his Iran policy.

- Democrats seized on the comments as gas prices hit $4.50 per gallon, while Republican lawmakers introduced legislation on Monday to suspend the federal gas tax.
- Trump dismissed Iran's recent peace proposal as a "piece of garbage," as the regime demanded lifting of sanctions and sovereignty over the strait during talks with China.
