Trump Helps Americans At The Pump

Relief at the pump may be on the horizon as gasoline prices are projected to decline—thanks in large part to President Donald Trump’s strong stance on trade with China. This economic pressure has led to a sharp drop in crude oil prices, setting the stage for lower gas prices for American families, especially retirees and working-class citizens already feeling the weight of inflation.

National Gas Prices Down Compared to Last Year

According to AAA, the national average price for gasoline on Friday was $3.21 per gallon. That’s 13 cents higher than last month, but significantly 42 cents lower than this time last year. Over the past week, prices dropped another five cents, reversing recent spikes caused by seasonal refinery maintenance and the transition to more expensive summer fuel blends.

Energy analyst Andy Lipow predicts the downward trend will continue:

“With oil prices falling, we expect to see gas prices drop at least another 15 cents per gallon in the next two weeks—possibly more if crude stays low.”

This is welcome news for millions of American households, especially those living on fixed incomes or commuting long distances in rural areas.


Oil Prices Fall Following Trump’s Tariff Announcement

The real shift began when President Trump announced aggressive new tariffs on China on April 2nd—triggering a steep selloff in the oil market. Crude oil futures have dropped over $10 per barrel since the announcement. On Friday, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) settled just above $61 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international benchmark, closed just above $64 per barrel.

Trump’s 90-day tariff pause for around 75 allied nations temporarily eased tensions, but the overall increase in tariffs—especially those hitting Chinese imports at a total of 145%—has raised concerns about reduced global oil demand.

For consumers, however, this translates into lower gasoline prices and relief from inflation.


Could Gas Prices Drop Below $3? Experts Say Yes

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, says the U.S. is entering a new energy reality:

“If crude prices remain this low, we could see gasoline fall below $3 per gallon nationally. The market hasn’t seen such a dramatic shift in years.”

This price drop is already reflected in inflation data. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) released Thursday revealed that gasoline prices declined by 9.8% year-over-year in March, helping the broader energy index fall by 3.3%.


What It Means for You

Under President Trump’s leadership, the focus remains on putting America first, protecting American energy independence, and ensuring lower costs for seniors, working families, and small businesses.

Gas prices may still fluctuate—but with strong White House trade policy, increased oil supply, and weaker global demand, American drivers are in a much stronger position today than just one year ago.
