President Donald Trump repeatedly interrupted Fox News anchor Bret Baier when he brought up the “painfully high” gas prices to object and insist they’ll drop quickly .
The president has just wrapped up a high-stakes trip to Beijing, China, where he was feted by and conferred with President Xi amid a blanket of pageantry and secrecy. The trip drew the attention of the world and concern over Trump’s statements about Taiwan.
Baier scored an extensive sit-down with President Trump in Beijing, which aired on Friday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Special Report.
In one exchange, Baier confronted the president over high gas prices and inflation numbers that came out this week:

QUESTION: What extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating to you make a deal?
TRUMP: Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters, I’m talking about Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, that’s all.
