Trump's Iran Endgame, War Economy, SCOTUS Birthright Citizenship Case

President Trump says The US mission in Iran is almost over. I had one goal. They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons. He says opening the Strait Of Hormuz is someone else's problem. I'm Michelle Martin. That's Leila Fano, and this is Up First from NPR News. Iran's effective closure of the Strait Of Hormuz has sent global gas prices soaring. It's all a global market, and it doesn't take that much to tip supply and demand into a place where suddenly we're in a global deficit. US truck drivers, farmers, and brewers are all feeling the ripple effects of the war on their bottom line. And president Trump plans to attend arguments at the Supreme Court.

But he said if the Strait Of Hormuz didn't open up shortly, that would happen. Now all of a sudden, it's no longer a goal. He doesn't care.
