Trump upayakan penangguhan sementara pajak bensin federal di tengah lonjakan harga akibat perang Iran

Presiden Trump telah menyerukan penangguhan sementara pajak bensin federal untuk meringankan beban kenaikan harga bahan bakar yang disebabkan oleh perang yang sedang berlangsung dengan Iran. Langkah ini memerlukan persetujuan kongres dan dilakukan saat harga rata-rata bensin telah melonjak lebih dari 50 persen menjadi $4,52 per galon.

Trump mengatakan kepada CBS News pada hari Senin bahwa ia mendukung penghentian pajak 18,4 sen per galon untuk bahan bakar reguler untuk jangka waktu tertentu. Ia mengatakan pajak tersebut akan diberlakukan kembali setelah harga turun, seraya menambahkan bahwa durasinya akan berlangsung “sampai dianggap tepat.” Presiden berbicara dari Ruang Oval setelah wawancara telepon sebelumnya dengan Nancy Cordes dari jaringan tersebut.
