Trump backs federal gas tax suspension; Hawley to introduce legislation
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced he will introduce a bill to suspend the federal 18.4-cent-per-gallon gas tax, citing President Trump's support. Trump confirmed he backs the pause, calling it 'a great idea' amid elevated fuel prices tied to the ongoing war with Iran. The move is gaining traction among Republicans concerned about voter backlash over rising oil costs.
