Donald Trump expressed his lack of concern regarding the increase in oil prices, attributing it to the perceived threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, indicating that people are willing to pay more under such circumstances. In a recent phone interview with CNBC, the US President nonchalantly dismissed the potential collapse of peace negotiations with Iran, stating that he is indifferent to their outcome and finds the ongoing talks tedious.
Addressing the recent surge in oil prices following reports of Iran pulling out of peace discussions, Trump remained optimistic, asserting that prices will plummet swiftly. Emphasizing that the spike in oil prices is linked to concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Trump suggested that consumers are accepting of paying slightly higher prices in this context.
Responding to rumors that Iranian negotiators may cease communication with the US and that Tehran could block the Strait of Hormuz due to Israel’s actions in Lebanon, Trump mentioned his intention to inquire about the situation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Subsequently, reports emerged from Israeli media sources confirming a phone call between Trump and Netanyahu.
