Trump says high gas prices are small price to stop Iran nuclear weapon
Original: President Trump says high gas prices are a small price to pay to stop an Iranian nuclear weapon
President Donald Trump has argued that elevated gasoline prices in the United States are a small price to pay to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. His remarks tie the cost pressure American drivers feel at the pump to his administration's hard line on Tehran's nuclear programme, framing economic pain as a necessary trade-off for national and global security.
Why now: Rising gas prices combined with tensions over Iran's nuclear programme make the trade-off between household costs and foreign policy highly topical.
