Reuters. President Donald Trump said on Monday (May 4) that he believes high gasoline prices will drop rapidly once the Iran conflict is resolved.
“They thought that energy would be at $300, right? $300 a barrel. And it's like at 100. And I think going down, and I see it going down very substantially when this is over, I think very rapidly too, at levels that you've never seen because there's a lot of energy out there, ships all over the world loaded up with it. They can't do much with it because they got kidnaped by a pretty evil place. But we're taking care of it. It's interesting, they did a poll on the war with Iran and they said only 32% of the people like it. Well, I don't like it and I don't like war at all. But we're equipped better than... We have the greatest military in the world. You saw what happened with Venezuela. You see what happens with everything. But they said 32% of the people are against President Trump. But when you explain it, like, is it okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon? It wouldn't be 32%. But even if you said that, there'd be a 32% because the polls are fake, I mean, they're totally fake” Trump said.
