Doocy Grills Trump Aide on Shifting Gas-Price Promises Amid Oil Market Turmoil
TL;DR Summary
Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on when gas would fall to $3 a gallon, but Bessent dodged a firm timeline, offering a broad window (June 20 to Sept. 20) while blaming gas stations for price spikes; the backdrop is surging pump prices—about $4+ per gallon nationwide—driven by Iran-related oil disruptions and Strait of Hormuz tensions, as the IMF warns of global economic risks and Trump defends the price increases as necessary for national security.
