    "dek": "President Trump dismissed a reporter's question about using nuclear weapons against Iran as a 'stupid question' during a White House press conference.",
    "prose": "During a press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump reacted sharply to a question from a reporter about whether he would exclude the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. [^1]\n\nPresident Trump called the reporter's question 'stupid' and stated there is no reason to use nuclear weapons against Iran, claiming the country is completely militarily defeated. [^2]\n\nPresident Donald Trump will hold a meeting with representatives from the oil and gas industry on Tuesday, September 1. [^3]\n\nUS President Donald Trump said during a White House-broadcast exchange with journalists that Washington seeks good relations with both Moscow and Kyiv. [^4]\n\nUS President Donald Trump said the United States is ready to launch new strikes on Iran at any time, threatening to repeat a massive attack. [^5]\n\nUS President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he does not think the ongoing US-Iran war will last 'much longer'. [^6]\n\nAccording to the Daily Mail, the United States has spent approximately 37.5 billion dollars in a six-month conflict with Iran, during which 18 American soldiers were killed. [^7]\n\nPresident Trump claimed that Iran is a failed nation with a 300% inflation rate, a leader in total chaos, and over 100,000 dead protesters who should be tried for crimes against humanity. [^8]\n\nThe agenda includes discussions on energy supply, energy prices, and available refining capacity in the United States. [^9]\n\nThe meeting will take place at the Cabinet Room in the White House starting at 1:30 pm without press access. [^10]\n\nThe war between the US and Iran began on 28 February. [^11]\n\nTrump said the attack targeted military equipment recently installed near the Strait of Hormuz, including radar and missile-related systems. [^12]",
