Trump: Fuel prices now lower than pre-war
U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to bring fuel prices in the United States back down to levels lower than those before the outbreak of the war with Iran, stressing that the issue will be resolved quickly. This comes amid rising gas and diesel prices due to disruptions in navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and their impact on energy supplies, which has increased the cost of fuel for the average American household by roughly $1,100 since the conflict began. Prices continue to rise, with the cost per gallon reaching $4.34 compared to $2.98 before the war. As household purchasing power weakens, the increasing energy costs are putting pressure on voters and affecting Trump's support and that of the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections scheduled for November.
