Trump contradicts Vance, says nukes, not oil prices, No. 1 priority in Iran
Trump said stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons is the top goal as GasBuddy put regular gas at $4.02 a gallon, up 7 cents from last week.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump contradicted Vice President Vance, posting that the administration's "number one Goal is, and always will be" preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, minutes after a Fox News broadcast questioned U.S. objectives.
- Last Thursday, Vance stated on Fox News that "goal No. 1" for the administration was to "keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country," prioritizing energy prices over other objectives amid the Iran conflict.

- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said last Friday that "both goals are equally as important to the president," while emphasizing Iran's nuclear threat remains the administration's priority in the ongoing conflict.
- Roughly eight minutes after Fox News anchor Lawrence Jones called for "more clarity" on U.S. objectives Monday, Trump reaffirmed his May position that financial pressure on Americans does not influence his Iran policy decisions.
