Trump, Wright Clash on Gas Prices; Vance Talks Iran

0:00On April 20, President Trump is pushing back hard against his energy secretaries take on gas prices. Chris Wright said Sunday that prices might not draw below $3 a gallon until next year because of the mess in the straight of hormones. But Trump called that totally wrong, saying relief at the pump comes as soon as the conflict with Iran wraps up. Wright stayed cautious on CNN, noting prices have probably peaked and should start falling, especially of tensions ease. He admitted it could happen later this year, or not until next year, depending on shipping disruptions there. This shows a real split in the administration. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson predicted last week that prices could hit the $3 range as early as this summer. Meanwhile, everyday drivers are feeling the pinch with national averages climbing above $4 a gallon for the first time since 20. 22. The U.S. is ramping up pressure with a blockade on Iranian ports that Trump says is costing them $500 million a day. He claims America fully controls it, hitting Tehran's economy hard amid the global oil shocks.
