PSAKI: “So I think you are misidentifying what the actual issue is. But if we are looking to the future and what we can do to prevent this from being a challenge in future crises, the best thing we can do is reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil, because that will help us have a reliable source of energy so that we're not worried about gas prices going up because of the whims of a foreign dictator."
DOOCY: "Right. And you guys think that asking Saudi Arabia or Venezuela or Iran is reducing our dependence on foreign oil?"
PSAKI: "That’s actually, I just outlined each of those specific scenarios and the range of discussions that we're having with each of those countries. I don’t think anybody is advocating for Iran to continue acquiring a nuclear weapon, perhaps except for the former president who pulled us out of the deal.”
