In an interview with FNC’s Bret Baier on “Special Report,” President Donald Trump defended his remark that Americans’ financial situation is not motivating him to make a deal with Iran<\/a>. <\/p>\n

BRET BAIER, ‘SPECIAL REPORT’ ANCHOR, FOX NEWS: This inflation number is going up. You’re right, it’s much lower than President Biden’s was, but it’s going up under you, the numbers are. You can imagine Democrats and political pundits jumped all over this statement that you made the other day. You were asked when you were leaving: REPORTER: To what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal? TRUMP: Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters is that I’m talking about Iran is they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.<\/a><\/i> TRUMP: That’s right. That’s a perfect statement. I’d make it again. BAIER: But you can imagine how many people stopped the soundbite at, “I don’t think about America’s financial situation.” So what’s your response to that frame? TRUMP: It’s very simple. When people hear me say it, everybody agrees. Short-term pain. It’s going to be short-term pain, but the pain is much less than people thought because people thought that the oil would go up to $ 250. You know, it was $ 99 yesterday, $ 99 a barrel. I thought it might go up to 200.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
