特朗普周二表示其政府正在考虑暂停联邦汽油税1。这一提议反映出总统对选民燃料成本关切的回应，距离中期选举仅剩约一个月1。
当前全国汽油平均价格为4.3685美元/加仑，较一年前上涨超过1美元1。联邦汽油税为汽油18.4¢/加仑和柴油24.4¢/加仑1。若取消该税，普通汽油价格将下降约4%1。然而，任何暂停措施都需要国会立法通过，总统无法单方面实施1。
特朗普表示"价格现在下降很多"，并预期"一旦战争结束（很快就会结束），石油价格也会大幅下跌"1。这并非他首次提出此想法，他曾在5月份因伊朗战争推高燃料价格时首次提议这一方案1。现有联邦汽油税每年为公路和公共交通带来超过23亿美元收入1。
President Trump stated on Tuesday that his administration is considering a suspension of the federal gas tax, a proposal driven by voter frustration over fuel costs as the midterm elections approach within a month.1 Any suspension would require congressional legislation, as the president lacks unilateral authority to implement such a measure.1
The federal gas tax currently stands at 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel.1 Eliminating this tax would reduce typical gasoline prices by approximately 4 percent.1 The tax generates more than $2.3 billion annually for highways and public transportation infrastructure.1 On Tuesday, the national average gas price was $4.3685 per gallon, exceeding prices from one year prior by more than $1.1
Trump suggested that fuel prices are already declining and predicted further significant drops once current conflicts end.1 He first introduced this proposal in May when tensions with Iran had driven up fuel costs.1
