On this Face the Nation broadcast, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D), and Sunoco chairman Ray Washburne, Republican midterm convention chair, discussed high gasoline prices and the ongoing war with Iran. Secretary Wright stated that prices are likely to go down as demand decreases and supply increases following a change in regulations allowing American refiners to produce more gasoline and diesel.
He emphasized the importance of maximum production and energy addition in addressing supply shortages. Regarding Iran, Wright expressed a preference for a negotiated settlement over military action, while also noting that the current strategy is to "strangle their economy" by halting the export of Iranian crude and crude-related products.
