Secretary of Energy Chris Wright says that rising oil prices are based on “fears,” not the escalating U.S.-launched war in the Middle East.
Wright, 61, appeared on both Fox News Sunday and CNN’s State of the Union, and insisted Americans struggling to fill their tanks is caused by a “perception” problem. Wright did not put much blame on President Donald Trump, 79, for launching an unauthorized attack on Iran on Feb. 28, which spread chaos and violence across the region.
Asked by Fox News host Shannon Bream about the “narrative of rising prices” as reported on by Politico, Wright avowed: ”It’s fiction. It’s right along the line. I’ve read about a dozen fiction pieces from Politico and other news things about stuff just totally made up, whole cloth."
