Trump's Iran War Boosts Gas Prices to Record High Amid 'World-Saving' Claims

At the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum praised President Donald Trump for his handling of natural gas prices.

Burgum claimed that under Trump's administration, natural gas has fallen to levels 20% below what they were before. However, this statement is contradicted by rising gasoline prices, which have reached a national average of $4.27 due in part to Trump's war with Iran.

During the interview, Burgum was pressed about the high cost of gas and oil, which has hit $100 per barrel. He responded by downplaying the issue, saying that Trump had 'basically stopped World War III' and 'saved the world.'

Critics have panned Burgum's statement as an attempt to spin a positive narrative around Trump's policies.
