US President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he does not consider Americans' financial hardship when negotiating with Iran, declaring that the sole priority in those talks is preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Asked directly whether rising costs for ordinary Americans were motivating him to reach a deal, Trump replied, "Not even a little bit." His comments come as a PBS News/NPR/Marist poll found 63% of Americans blame Trump for sharp increases in gas and grocery prices since the start of the war on Iran, and ahead of a scheduled visit to Beijing where he is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and discuss the conflict.
