Trump Predicts Lower Gas Prices Once Iran War Ends

President Donald Trump said Energy Secretary Chris Wright was “wrong” to suggest gasoline prices may not fall until 2027, saying he expects prices to decline as soon as the Iran war ends. The comments come as Americans continue to face elevated fuel costs, with the national average at about $4.04 per gallon compared with $3.15 a year ago. Ongoing disruptions tied to the conflict and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz remain key drivers of pressure on energy markets.
