Trump-Xi summit could hold key to lower gas prices, GOP chairman says
Summary
Rep. Brian Mast said President Donald Trump should use an upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to pressure China to stop arming Iran. Mast argued that Chinese support for Iran and Russia contributes to instability around the Strait of Hormuz and higher global oil prices, worsening U.S. gasoline costs. He cited a national average of $4.47 per gallon, more than 30 cents above the September 3 level. Mast identified a Russia-Iran sanctions law as potential leverage, while the article provided no independent confirmation of his claims.
