In a series of recent statements, Trump has claimed that oil and gas prices will not decrease until immediately following the U.S. midterm elections. He asserts that the ongoing conflict with Iran is directly influencing current fuel prices, which he believes will fall significantly after the elections. Trump predicts that the Iran war will conclude shortly after the elections, subsequently leading to a dramatic reduction in oil prices, potentially dropping below $2 per gallon. Critics have raised concerns about the feasibility of these promises as they view them as politically motivated assurances ahead of the elections.
