Trump: Energy prices "haven't increased as much as I expected"

On March 27, U.S. President Trump said at a cabinet meeting that he had expected natural gas and oil prices to rise higher due to the impact of the war in Iran, and said that energy prices "have not increased as much as I expected." Trump added that he expected prices to rise further. "Maybe it will go up a little more. But it will eventually fall back." Gasoline prices retreated slightly on Thursday, but were still up about 99 cents since the beginning of the war.
