Trump richt zich op benzineprijzen na mislukking aanval op Federal Reserve

President Trump is targeting gas retailers in his effort to combat rising fuel costs, setting a $2.50 per gallon price goal after his Federal Reserve strategy stalled. Gasoline prices surged 40.5% over the past year through May 2026, driven partly by Middle East tensions that disrupted global oil supplies. The administration is now pressuring retailers directly to lower prices at the pump.
