President Donald Trump responded to a question about potential oil prices reaching $200 a barrel, stating it would be "no big deal" and fuel would just become a little more expensive. He emphasized that there is nothing worse than nuclear weapons that destroy cities, framing the economic cost as preferable to the existential threat. This comment reinforces his administration's primary focus on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities, even at significant economic cost to the global market.
