U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that Americans should not expect gas prices to return to under $3.00 a gallon until later this year or potentially even 2027. President Donald Trump has now directly contradicted that assessment, telling The Hill that Wright is "Wrong… totally wrong." Trump asserted that prices will fall to normal levels as soon as the war with Iran concludes.
