Americans too impatient to wait for Iranian oil, says Trump

US President Donald Trump said Americans lack the patience to wait for the US to seize Iranian oil.

“We could just take their oil,” Trump said at an event at the White House earlier, according to a video shared online. “But, you know, I’m not sure that the people in our country have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate, you know, they want to see it end.”

Trump appeared to acknowledge political pressure urging him to end the war.

“If we stayed there, I, you know, I prefer just to take the oil. We could do it so easily. I would prefer that, but people in the country, sort of, say, ‘Just win. You’re winning so big, just win, come home.’ And I’m okay with that too because we have a lot of oil,” Trump added.
