Donald Trump expressed his lack of concern over increased oil prices, citing the potential threat of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons as a reason for people being willing to pay more. In a phone interview with CNBC on Monday, the US President dismissed the possibility of failed peace negotiations with Iran, stating his indifference towards their outcome, deeming the talks tedious.
Following reports of Iran walking away from peace talks, causing a spike in oil prices, Trump predicted a rapid decline in oil prices. He emphasized that Americans who grasp the significance of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities would accept higher gas prices, reasoning that the cause justifies the cost.
Regarding the halt in communication between Iranian negotiators and the US, with Tehran considering blocking the Strait of Hormuz due to Israel’s actions in Lebanon, Trump mentioned intending to inquire about the situation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Subsequently, various Israeli media sources confirmed that Trump and Netanyahu had a phone call.
