US President Trump: When oil prices go up, US makes a lot of money

In a Truth Social Post on Thursday, United States (US) President Donald Trump said that when Oil prices go up, as it has since he launched the war with Iran, the US benefits. Trump's biggest interest, however, is stopping Iran from having nuclear weapons.

Key takeaway

“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stopping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won’t ever let that happen! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
