Trump says he doesn’t ‘think about Americans’ financial situation’ as he travels to China, The Guardian reports.
Donald Trump is set to land in Beijing today for high-stakes talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, with the war on Iran expected to loom large over the summit.
Before departing for his trip to China, the US president told reporters he does not consider the economic impact the war is having on Americans and that stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon was his top priority.
“Not even a little bit‚” Trump said when asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to reach a deal with Iran.
“The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran – they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody,” he said.
“I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”
