Trump Says US Profits From Iran War as Gas Hits $4.27
U.S. President Donald Trump said the country is "making huge profits" from the war with Iran, as gasoline prices rise to $4.27 per gallon.
U.S. President Donald Trump defended the sharp rise in oil prices, saying the United States is "making absolute fortunes" from the war with Iran. His remarks came as the average cost of gasoline in the country reached $4.27 per gallon.
Trump's statement was a response to criticism of his energy policy and its impact on American consumers. For motorists and households, rising fuel prices mean a noticeable increase in travel costs and everyday expenses, as transportation costs quickly feed into the prices of a wide range of goods.
The rise in gasoline prices in the United States is taking place against the backdrop of the conflict with Iran, which directly affects global energy markets. Because the Persian Gulf remains one of the key regions for oil supplies, any military action there causes heightened price volatility and concerns about supply stability.
The president's statement highlights the contradiction between the economic benefits pointed to by the administration and the painful consequences for ordinary citizens. While prices remain high, the question of who actually benefits from the conflict and who bears its costs remains at the center of public debate.
