Energy Secretary Chris Wright told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that the Trump administration is “open to all ideas” to lower the cost of gas, including suspending the federal gas tax. Gas prices have been soaring, hitting a national average of $4.52 per gallon, according to data from motor club AAA — an increase of more than 50% since the start of the Iran war. Asked by moderator Kristen Welker whether he would support suspending the federal gas tax, Wright said that “all measures that can be taken to lower the price at the pump and lower the prices for Americans, this administration is in support of.” |
