Donald Trump’s economic adviser has claimed that the “hurt” caused to consumers as a result of the war with Iran was a low priority for the administration as diesel prices hit a record high.
Kevin Hassett dismissed consumer concerns and argued that the economy was strong despite the president’s conflict in the Middle East, sending energy prices skyrocketing.
The director of the National Economic Council also indicated that the administration was not already considering how to address higher costs resulting from the war.
