Trump busca suspensão temporária do imposto federal sobre gasolina em meio à alta de preços pela guerra com o Irã

O presidente Trump pediu uma suspensão temporária do imposto federal sobre gasolina para aliviar o peso da disparada nos preços nas bombas, causada pela guerra em curso com o Irã. A medida exigiria aprovação do Congresso e ocorre em um momento em que o custo médio da gasolina saltou mais de 50%, atingindo US$ 4,52 por galão.

Trump disse à CBS News na segunda-feira que apoia uma pausa na cobrança do imposto de 18,4 centavos por galão sobre o combustível comum por um período. Ele afirmou que o imposto seria reintroduzido assim que os preços caíssem, acrescentando que a duração seria "até que seja apropriado". O presidente falou do Salão Oval após uma entrevista por telefone anterior com a jornalista Nancy Cordes, da emissora.
