政府支持暂停联邦汽油税以缓解油价压力
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington — This week the administration said it supports pausing the federal gas tax temporarily to provide relief at the pump, with the energy secretary making the comment on Sunday and President Trump repeating the intent in a Monday CBS interview; officials cited national averages near $4.52 per gallon and noted legal constraints. The proposal would suspend the 18.4-cent-per-gallon gasoline excise and the 24.4-cent diesel excise, measures that currently fund the Highway Trust Fund, and would require an act of Congress to implement; analysts and reporters note the savings per gallon would be modest while estimated federal revenue losses could reach about $500 million weekly, and lawmakers have introduced related bills this week.
