Trump busca suspender temporalmente el impuesto federal a la gasolina ante el aumento de precios por la guerra con Irán

El presidente Trump ha pedido una suspensión temporal del impuesto federal a la gasolina para aliviar la carga del aumento de los precios en las estaciones de servicio causado por la actual guerra con Irán. La medida requeriría la aprobación del Congreso y se produce en un momento en que los costos promedio de la gasolina han subido más de un 50 por ciento, situándose en 4.52 dólares por galón.

Trump declaró a CBS News el lunes que apoya pausar el impuesto de 18.4 centavos por galón al combustible regular durante un tiempo. Indicó que el impuesto se reintroduciría una vez que los precios bajen, añadiendo que la duración sería “hasta que sea apropiado”. El presidente habló desde el Despacho Oval después de una entrevista telefónica previa con la periodista de la cadena, Nancy Cordes.
