Trump Emphasizes 'Stopping Iran from Getting Nuclear Weapons' More Important Than Rising Oil Prices
President Trump's Social Media Post
On the 12th, U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned on his social media that as the world's largest oil producer, the United States gains immense profits when oil prices rise. However, he emphasized that what is far more important and of greater interest to him as President is preventing Iran from possessing nuclear weapons and destroying the Middle East and the world. He added, "I will never allow that!" expressing a firm stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Remarks on Iran Situation and Nobel Peace Prize
The video reported scenes appearing to be fires that occurred at oil facilities in Tehran, Iran on the 7th and 8th. In this situation, President Trump reportedly underscored the significance of military action, asserting that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is more important than the benefits from high oil prices. In an interview with the conservative outlet Washington Examiner, when asked if military action against Iran would lead to support from the Nobel Peace Prize committee, President Trump responded, "I have no expectation at all," and "I don't care." He drew a line, stating, "I don't talk about the Nobel Prize," a reaction different from his past displays of ambition for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
