US gas reaches $4.30 per gallon; Trump says prices will drop after Iran war
"The average price of one gallon of gasoline in the United States has reached $4.30, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), up from less than $3 before the February 28 start of the US-Israel war on Iran."
"According to AAA, prices for gas or petrol went up by 27 cents over the past week amid the deepening impasse, with Iran blocking the strait and the US imposing a naval siege on Iranian ports."
"The spike in energy prices has been fuelling inflation and economic uncertainty, adding to Trump's political woes. The US president's approval rating is hitting record lows amid growing discontent with the conflict with Iran."
"And you know what? And we're not going to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran, the US president told reporters. The gas will go down. As soon as the war is over, it'll drop like a rock."
