US President Donald Trump admitted on Sunday that gas prices may continue to rise in the coming months, though he has previously signalled that the rising fuel costs are not a major concern for his administration.
Trump downplaying rising gas prices isn't new information. In March, the US President had told Reuters in an interview, 'I don't have any concern about it. They'll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit,' suggesting that the military objective outweighed short-term economic pressures.
