Trump says federal gas tax should be paused, CBS News reports

President Donald Trump said on Monday he ‌wants the 18 cent federal gas tax paused for a period of time but dismissed any possible relief for airlines facing higher jet fuel prices, CBS News reported as U.S. gas prices remained high amid the Iran war.

"We’re going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas goes down, we’ll let it phase back in," Trump told CBS.

A bailout plan for airlines had not "really been presented," and "the airlines are not doing ‌badly,” he told CBS.
