Trump official opens door to gas tax suspension
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday the Trump administration is "open" to suspending the federal gasoline tax amid high pump prices.
Why it matters: His remarks slightly soften the White House stance on the idea of halting the federal tax of 18.3 cents per gallon.
Polling shows President Trump faces political blowback from prices at their highest levels in four years.
The average U.S. price for regular gas hit $4.52 per gallon Sunday, per AAA, up from just under $3 when the war began.
