‘Imagine having 40 million on food stamps’: Ghalibaf hits back at Trump
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf criticized US President Donald Trump for projecting America's economic issues onto Iran, specifically addressing Trump's claim that Iran needs US food exports due to high inflation. Ghalibaf highlighted the irony of Trump advising Iran while millions of Americans rely on food stamps, as Trump stated the US aims to supply food to Iran if diplomatic efforts succeed.
