Trump Highlights US Oil Profits Amid High Gas Prices and Middle East Tensions
President Trump defended high US oil and gas prices at a Georgia rally, stating the country is making a "fortune" amid Middle East tensions. He acknowledged rising fuel costs but predicted prices would fall and highlighted increased US oil production in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. While gas prices remain elevated compared to last year, Trump claimed Americans pay less than under previous administrations. His remarks drew criticism as many Americans face higher pump prices amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
