Trump disputes gas price warnings

Trump has blamed the ongoing conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz for the spike in energy costs, while critics argue his policies have exacerbated the crisis.

Democratic voters largely hold the president responsible for the price increases, which have become a central issue in the upcoming midterm elections.

The administration is now under pressure to provide a clear timeline for relief at the pump.
