美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)表示，美国的财政状况“一点也不是”他达成协议结束伊朗战争的激励因素，尽管通货膨胀上升的新报道连续第二次并创下三年新高。
特朗普周二在离开白宫前往中国进行高风险访问时回答记者提问时发表了上述评论。
当被问及美国的财政状况在多大程度上促使他与伊朗达成协议时，总统说，“一点也不”，因为战争已经持续到第11周。
“当我谈论伊朗时，唯一重要的是，他们不能拥有核武器，”特朗普继续说道。“我不考虑美国人的财务状况。我不考虑任何人。我想到一件事:我们不能让伊朗拥有核武器。仅此而已。"
美国广播公司新闻驻白宫记者卡伦·特拉弗斯敦促特朗普澄清他是否在考虑战争对美国人的经济影响。他加倍下注。
特朗普说:“最重要的是，到目前为止，伊朗不能拥有核武器。”
"现在，美国人和物价的压力如何?"美国广播公司的特拉弗斯问道。
“每个美国人都明白，”特朗普说。
他补充道，“他们明白伊朗不能拥有核武器。如果伊朗拥有核武器，整个世界都会陷入困境，因为他们碰巧疯了。”
民主党人迅速回应了特朗普的评论。参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默重新分享了一段视频特朗普对X的评论并为他的帖子加了标题“我们能看出来”
鉴于周二的报告显示4月份价格比去年上涨3.8%，当被问及他在2024年竞选中降低通胀的承诺时，特朗普坚称他的政策“令人难以置信地奏效”。
A美国广播公司新闻/华盛顿邮报/益普索最近的民意调查发现大约三分之二的美国人(65%)不赞成特朗普处理经济的方式。大约四分之三的美国人不赞同特朗普处理美国生活成本的方式(76%)，只有大约四分之一的人表示赞同(23%)。几乎同样多的人不赞成他处理通货膨胀的方式(72%)，高于二月份65%的不赞成者。
几个参与调查的人接受ABC新闻采访关于他们因为飞涨的油价而经历的财政紧张。
根据美国汽车协会的数据，截至周二，美国全国平均每加仑汽油价格为4.50美元，自2月底战争开始以来上涨了1.50美元以上。
特朗普，谁在周一取消汽油税假期为了给美国人带来一些经济上的缓解，他在周二重申了他的信念，即一旦冲突结束，价格将会回落。
“当它结束时，你会看到油价大幅下跌，”特朗普告诉记者。
Trump says 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation' in Iran negotiations
President Donald Trump said Americans' financial situation was "not even a little bit" of a motivating factor for him reaching a deal to end the war in Iran, despite anew report that inflation rosefor a second consecutivemonth and hit a three-year high.
Trump made the comment on Tuesday as he took questions from reporters as he left the White House for a high-stakes trip to China.
"Not even a little bit," the president said when asked to what extent Americans' financial situations were motivating him to make a deal with Iran, as the war stretches into its 11th week.
"The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon," Trump continued. "I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all."
ABC News White House Correspondent Karen Travers pressed Trump to clarifywhether he was considering the financial impact of the war on Americans. He doubled down.
"The most important thing, by far, is Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon," Trump said.
"What about the pressure on Americans and prices, right now?" ABC's Travers asked.
"Every American understands," Trump said.
He added, "They understand that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. If Iran has a nuclear weapon, the whole world would be in trouble because they happen to be crazy."
Democrats quickly responded to Trump's comment. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reshared a video ofTrump's comments on Xand captioned his post "We can tell."
When pressed on his 2024 campaign promise to bring down inflation in light of Tuesday's report showing prices rose 3.8% in April compared to last year, Trump insisted his policies are "working incredibly."
Arecent poll from ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsosfound about two-thirds of Americans (65%) disapproved of how Trump is handling the economy. About three-quarters of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling the cost of living in the U.S. (76%) with just about a quarter approving (23%). Nearly as many disapprove of how he's handling inflation (72%), up from 65% who disapproved in February.
Several of the poll's participantsspoke to ABC Newsabout the financial strain they're experiencing because of soaring gas prices.
As of Tuesday, the national average for a gallon of gas in the U.S. was $4.50, according to data from AAA, up more than $1.50 since the war began in late February.
Trump, who on Mondayfloated a gas tax holidayto bring some financial relief to Americans, reiterated on Tuesday his belief that prices will go back down once the conflict comes to an end.
"When it’s over, you’re going to have a massive drop in the price of oil," Trump told reporters.
