"Trump stated, 'No, I think he's wrong on that, totally wrong,' referring to Energy Secretary Chris Wright's prediction about gas prices not dropping below $3 until 2027."
"Wright mentioned, 'That could happen later this year. That might not happen 'til next year. But prices have likely peaked and they'll start going down.'"
"In a previous interview, Wright had said, 'In the worst case, this is a weeks thing, this is not a months thing,' regarding gas prices dropping below $3."
"Trump expressed uncertainty about oil prices, stating, 'I hope so. I mean, I think so. It could be. It could be. Or the same. Or maybe a little bit higher.'"
President Trump criticized Energy Secretary Chris Wright for stating that gas prices may not fall below $3 per gallon until 2027. In a phone interview, Trump expressed his belief that Wright was incorrect and that prices would decrease soon. Wright had previously indicated on CNN that while prices might drop later this year, they could also remain elevated until next year. Trump has also shown uncertainty about oil prices, suggesting they might stabilize or increase slightly before the midterm elections.
