Trump bragged about low gas prices. The Iran conflict has him doing an about-face - AP News
Overview
Rising oil and gasoline prices tied to the Iran conflict have forced a political messaging pivot and new policy responses, including a proposal to pause the federal gas tax. While a temporary pause could reduce pump prices by about 18.4 cents per gallon, experts warn it would deplete the Highway Trust Fund and jeopardize road and bridge projects. The administration is also pursuing Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases and other short-term steps, but these measures may not fully ease consumer pain or long-term market pressures.
