High fuel prices will not last long and will soon be followed by a significant decrease, US President Donald Trump said in an interview with CNN.
“It is normal, it will not last long and very soon there will be a significant decrease“, journalist Dana Bash quoted the American leader as saying on the channel when asked about the rising fuel prices. She had previously spoken to him by phone.
The head of the White House did not agree with the journalist that the increase in gasoline prices looks significant. “No, fuel prices have only risen a little, but they will fall to record lows“, Bash quoted the American leader as saying.
According to the non-governmental American Automobile Association (AAA), the average price of fuel in the United States reached $3.32 per gallon on Friday after the start of the military operation against Iran. Just a week ago, this figure was $2.98. A year ago, at the beginning of the current administration in the United States, fuel prices were around $3.10 per gallon.
