President Donald Trump contradicted his energy secretary, Chris Wright, over his claim that gas prices in the U.S. might not dip back below $3 a gallon this year as the war in Iran drags on and oil prices remain high.
Wright made the remarks while speaking on CNN, saying he doesn't know when prices will fall below the mentioned threshold. "That could happen later this year. That might not happen until next year," Wright said. "But prices have likely peaked, and they'll start going down," he added.
