President Donald Trump said on April 23 that Americans may have to deal with higher gas prices “for a little while,” as the conflict with Iran continues despite an extended ceasefire.
During a press conference in the Oval Office, Trump was asked whether Americans should anticipate higher fuel costs for the foreseeable future. He did not specify a timeline but signaled it could last for some time.
