Trump Dismisses Concerns Over Long-Term Gas Price Hikes
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the US has reached $4.30, according to AAA. President Trump dismissed concerns that high gas prices will persist long after the Iran War concludes. Consumer prices rose 0.7 percent from February, according to a report by Saka Magani. Compared with a year ago, prices were up 3.5 percent, marking the largest hike in nearly three years. Democrat Rosa DeLauro stated that bipartisan packages have passed the Senate and are moving to President Trump. The report noted that soaring gas prices pushed inflation higher last month. These remarks follow reports of the global economy feeling strain from the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian oil industry is currently struggling under a U.S. Navy blockade. The remarks come as the global economy faces strain from Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz.
