Sign InPresident Donald Trump has publicly challenged Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s forecast that gasoline prices will remain above $3 per gallon through 2027, insisting on an immediate drop following the Iran conflict. To accelerate this decline, Trump is now considering a two-month extension of the Jones Act waiver to streamline fuel transportation and mitigate price spikes caused by regional tensions. This potential regulatory move aims to address the supply chain bottlenecks that Secretary Wright warned could delay price relief for several months after the war ends. While the EIA currently projects an average price of $3.46 for 2027, the administration is pivoting toward active policy interventions to force a faster correction. Analysts are closely watching whether this waiver extension can bridge the gap between geopolitical resolutions and retail price stabilization.
