Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday that there’s “a very good chance” gas prices could drop below $3 per gallon by summer, predicting that in “a few more weeks” the U.S. will have “removed the risk” of Iran’s continued threat to global energy supplies.
“Americans are feeling it right now. Americans will feel it for a few more weeks,” Wright told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” about rising gas prices amid the joint U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
Wright added that once the war is over, “we’ll go to a world more abundant in energy, more affordable in energy, and less risky for American soldiers and commerce in the Middle East.”
