Speaking while campaigning for Republican candidates, President Donald Trump acknowledged that Americans are paying more for fuel but said the cost was small compared with what he described as the risk of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.
“You’re paying a price. But, boy, is that a small price than what it would be if these lunatics were allowed to have a nuclear weapon and used it on Mobile, Alabama?” Trump said.
U.S. Energy Information Administration data show the national average price of on-highway diesel reached $6.38 a gallon on September 28.
