Trump says he’s considering suspending federal gas tax as states lead effort to lower costs

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that his administration is considering the suspension of the federal gasoline tax. This potential move follows actions by four states that have already suspended the tax to reduce costs for citizens. The president is weighing this option as voter frustration over rising fuel prices increases, which could potentially impact Republican prospects in the upcoming November midterm elections. Trump confirmed the administration is currently thinking about this specific tax suspension strategy.
