President Trump told The Hill on Monday that he disagreed with Energy Secretary Chris Wrightโs assessment that gas prices may not drop below $3 per gallon until next year.
โNo, I think heโs wrong on that. Totally wrong,โ Trump said in a phone interview when asked about his Energy chiefโs comments. When asked by The Hill when he believes gas prices will drop, Trump said โas soon as this ends,โ referring to the Iran war.
Wright told CNN on Sunday that gas prices might not drop below $3 until next year amid shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. โI donโt know. That could happen later this year. That might not happen until next year,โ Wright said. โBut prices have likely peaked and they will start going down,โ the secretary added. โCertainly, with a resolution of this conflict, you will see prices go down. Prices across the board on energy prices will go down.โ
Wrightโs comments were in stark contrast to comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week, in which he predicted gas prices could hit the $3 range this summer.
