During the interview, Trump mentioned Japan and South Korea's reliance on the Middle East and the protection provided by U.S. military presence, expressing dissatisfaction with these countries for not offering support. He believes that crude oil prices will eventually decline, discussed the stock market performing better than expected, and emphasized the need to prevent the other side from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Mars Finance News, on April 12th, Trump stated in an interview with FOX News that the most surprising thing to him is that 93% of Japan’s oil comes from the Middle East, and 45% of employment in Japan and South Korea depends on that region. These people have never helped us. I asked, are you planning to help? We have 45,000 and 50,000 soldiers respectively in those two places — we are protecting them. When we want some help, they don’t help us. When we seek help from NATO, they also don’t help us. We have spent nearly one trillion dollars on NATO in a very short period. The price of crude oil will eventually come down. It may not happen at first, but once all this is over, it will drop. Look at the stock market, the Dow Jones Index has reached 50,000 points — it was originally predicted to take four or five years to get there, but it reached 50,000 in my first year in office. Frankly, the increase in gasoline prices was also lower than my expectations. But anyway, even if they rise, we must prevent this group of people from having nuclear weapons again.
