President Donald Trump said he is "not even a little bit" worried about Americans' finances when he's negotiating with Iran on a potential deal. The president reiterated that his biggest concern is the country not obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"Not even a little bit," the president said. "The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situations, I don't think about anybody, I think about one thing, we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all," Trump added while speaking with reporters before heading on his trip to China to meet with President Xi Jinping.
