President Donald Trump said on Monday he will reduce the 18-cent federal gas tax for a yet to be determined period as U.S. fuel prices shoot higher due to the Iran war.
Waiving the tax requires Congress, currently controlled by Trump's fellow Republicans, to pass legislation. "Yeah, I'm going to reduce," Trump told reporters on whether he would suspend the tax. Asked how long he would suspend the tax, Trump said, "till it's appropriate."
