Trump: Don't be pressured by the economy – Americans understand why we're at war
The rising energy prices and their impact on Americans will not pressure Donald Trump into a faster deal with Iran, he says according to the Financial Times.
During a cabinet meeting at the White House, he says that Americans understand the reasons for the war.
– They understand that Iran simply cannot have nuclear weapons. I'm doing it for the world, I'm not doing it just for us.
Trump also accuses Iran of dragging out a peace deal in anticipation of the US mid-term elections in November, hoping to get better terms, writes The Guardian.
– They think they're going to wait me out, you know, "we're waiting him out, he has mid-term elections."
