美国总统唐纳德·特朗普要想降低汽油价格，现在只剩下一条路：结束伊朗战争。
President Donald Trump has just one way left to bring down gas prices: ending the Iran war.
他的政府已经扩大了红柴油的获取渠道；解禁了俄罗斯柴油；豁免了《琼斯法案》；并动用了美国战略储备，试图压低成本。然而，油价今日触及五个月高位，即使特朗普宣称中东出口已超过战前水平。
Already, his administration has expanded access to red-dyed diesel; unlocked Russian diesel; waived the Jones Act; and tapped the US strategic reserve in an effort to lower costs. Yet oil prices hit a five-month high today, even as Trump touted that Middle East exports were surpassing pre-war levels.
曾在前总统乔·拜登经济顾问委员会任职的希瑟·鲍谢说：“他没有任何边际手段可用”，尤其是在削减清洁能源投资之后。特朗普的尝试“远远不足以扭转局面”，因为它们无法“解决一个根本问题”。
“There isn’t a marginal thing he can do,” particularly after scaling back investments in clean energy, Heather Boushey, who served on former President Joe Biden’s Council of Economic Advisers, said. Trump’s attempts are “not going to move the needle sufficiently” because they don’t “solve a fundamental problem.”
白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯将高油价归咎于“既有问题”，如“民主党政治导致美国炼油厂关闭”以及“俄乌战争中炼油厂被毁”。
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers blamed high gas prices on “preexisting issues” like “Democrat politics that shuttered US refineries” and “the destruction of refineries in the Russia-Ukraine war.”
她补充说，特朗普“正在采取切实措施，增加美国本土的炼油产能”。
She added that Trump is “taking tangible steps to increase our refining capacity here in the United States.”
