The comment came just as the president readied to boardAir Force One for his trip to China, as Trump fielded questions about how the now 10-week war has led to a sharp spike in inflation.

\u201cThe only thing that matters when I\u2019m talking about Iran [is] they can\u2019t have a nuclear weapon,\u201d the president said. \u201cI don\u2019t think about American\u2019s financial situation, I don\u2019t think about anybody. I think about one thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
