U.S. gasoline prices remain high amid the conflict with Iran, and Vice President JD Vance stated that cheap oil and gas is the top priority for the U.S.
Vance noted that "oil is down today and it's way down from the highs in the early days of the conflict." He added that "goal number one is to keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country."
These remarks came as the U.S. vowed to continue economic pressure on Iran and stated it could keep the naval blockade of Iranian oil exports "indefinitely."
This week, the national average price of gasoline in the U.S. remained above $4 per gallon, marking the highest level for this time of year on record.
