Trump criticizes Japan, South Korea, and NATO for not offering assistance, predicts oil prices will eventually fall.

According to Mars Finance, on April 12th, Trump, in an interview with FOX News, stated, "One of the things that surprises me most is that 93% of Japan's oil comes from the Middle East, and 45% of the jobs in Japan and South Korea depend on that region. These people have never helped us. I said, 'Are you going to help?' We have 45,000 and 50,000 soldiers in those two places—we're protecting them. When we wanted a little help, they didn't help us. When we asked NATO for help, they didn't help us either. We've spent nearly a trillion dollars on NATO in a very short time. Oil prices will eventually come down. Maybe not at first, but when this is all over, it will come down. You see the stock market, the Dow Jones reached 50,000 points—it was predicted to take four or five years, but it reached 50,000 points in my first year in office. Frankly, gasoline prices have also risen less than I expected. But even if they do rise, we must prevent these people from having nuclear weapons again."
