President Donald Trump says he supports suspending the federal gas tax to help alleviate the pain at the pump as motorists contend with higher prices.

As of May 15, the national average price for regular gasoline is $4.53 a gallon, according to the American Automobile Association. This is up by about 50 percent since the start of the war in Iran.
