Trump says gas prices will remain high through November midterm election
Trump's comments on Sunday came after weeks of asserting that the spike in prices is a short-term phenomenon...
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who led Iran's delegation in the talks, posted on social media that a blockade would lead to higher U.S. gas prices. "Enjoy the current pump figures," he wrote on X, alongside a map showing gas prices in Washington. "With the so-called 'blockade', Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas."
UNPOPULAR WAR HITS TRUMP'S APPROVAL
The war has buffeted global financial markets and caused thousands of civilian deaths, mostly in Iran and Lebanon.Trump's political standing at home has suffered, with polls showing the war is unpopular among most Americans, who are frustrated by rising gasoline prices.
Although Trump has repeatedly said that the war would be over soon, Republican U.S. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin told ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday that achieving U.S. aims in Iran "could take a long time."
"It's going to be a long-term project," said Johnson.
