Exclusive: Trump adviser ties high gas prices to refining

Trump energy adviser Jarrod Agen stated that gasoline affordability is the primary concern for the president. While the Trump administration promotes energy savings through deregulation, overseas conflicts involving Iran have unsettled oil markets and increased fuel costs. National average gas prices reached approximately $4.48, significantly higher than the previous year's $3.18. Despite these increases, Trump described the high gas prices as a small price to pay for the ongoing war on Iran.
