Trump and his Cabinet offer mixed messages on gas prices amid Iran war
"President Trump and his Cabinet officials are offering mixed messages on gas prices as Americans grow increasingly uneasy over the Iran war’s economic impact.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNN on Sunday that gas prices may not drop back below $3 a gallon until next year.
“That could happen later this year, that might not happen until next year,” Wright said.
“But prices have likely peaked and they’ll start going down. Certainly with the resolution of this conflict, you’ll see prices go down,” he added.
But in a phone interview with The Hill on Monday, Trump said Wright’s assessment was “totally wrong.”"
