U.S. President Donald Trump stated on his social media platform Truth Social that the United States, as the world’s largest oil producer, earns significant revenue when global oil prices increase. His remarks came as Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s speech was being broadcast.

Trump emphasized that beyond financial gains, his greater priority is preventing Iran, which he described as an evil empire, from obtaining nuclear weapons and threatening the Middle East and the world. He asserted that he would never allow such a situation to occur.

The comments highlight Trump’s dual focus on U.S. economic interests in the energy sector and his firm stance against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, as reflected in his public messaging.
