⭕️ Trump says he is "thinking about" suspending the federal gasoline tax, as fuel prices driven up by the war on Iran threaten Republicans ahead of next month's midterms.

The tax is 18.4 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.4 cents on diesel, and suspending it would need approval from Congress. Biden floated the same idea in 2022, but Congress never passed it. Gasoline averaged $4.37 a gallon on Tuesday, according to AAA, up nearly 50% since the US and Israel began bombing Iran in February. That's still below the record of $5.02 set in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. Diesel, which drives the cost of trucking and food, hit a record $6.53 a gallon last month and stood at $6.32 on Tuesday.

연방 휘발유세 중단이 의회 승인을 받아 시행되면 휘발유 가격과 운송비 부담을 낮출 수 있지만, 현재는 검토 단계입니다. 이란 전쟁에 따른 유가 상승은 에너지 및 운송 관련 시장에 부담이 될 수 있습니다.
