The deployment followed Trump’s call gas retailers immediately cut gas prices, arguing that consumers should pay less as crude oil futures fell to levels seen before the recent US-Israel conflict with Iran.
While the national average has hovered around $3 a gallon, Trump urged retailers to aim for prices closer to $2.50 a gallon.
He also accused some companies of price gouging and warned that the federal government could launch an investigation if prices remained high.
