Spooked' Trump 'looking for exit ramp' in Iran as gas prices shock: lawmaker
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Rising gas prices have put President Donald Trump and his administration in a panic, a lawmaker said Tuesday. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer that, as the U.S.-Israel war in Iran moves into its second week and Americans are paying more at the gas pump, Trump was looking for a way out. Blitzer asked Warner, who was briefed on military operations, what Trump's potential exit strategy might be. "I don't have a clear timeline," Warner said. "If the timeline was going to be actually to meet the four goals that the administration has laid out, that will take an indeterminate amount of time."It appeared yesterday, because the president was spooked about the rising gas prices — you know, about $125 million a day — Americans are paying additional gas prices and that he was looking for an exit ramp that seemed to last a little while. "It seems we're back today to Hegseth saying you know, 'we're going to have the biggest attack of all of the war so far today.' And clearly, if they're going to meet the goals, we've got a great deal of time to come."
