President Trump said Americans' financial situation isn't motivating him to make a deal, "Not even a little bit," and that he is only focused on preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

President Donald Trump said he isn’t motivated by Americans’ financial situations “even a little bit” when negotiating a peace deal with Iran, insisting he is only concerned with preventing Iran from getting ahold of a nuclear weapon.

Iran "is committed to negotiations but what they don't want is surrender. They want to extract concessions," an analyst said.

President Trump told reporters on Tuesday that the financial situations of Americans do not motivate him while he is negotiating with Iran. “Not even a little bit,” Trump said when asked how much he is motivated by Americans’ financial situations to make a deal.
