The White House on March 4 sidestepped questions about whether President Joe Biden was doing anything to curb rising gas prices, as those in the industry warn that motorists might face $3 per gallon in a matter of weeks.
A reporter at the daily briefing asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki whether Biden was planning to intervene on the rising prices. Tech company GasBuddy, which tracks fuel prices, warned on March 4 that the national average “may breach $3 per gallon by Memorial Day after OPEC’s meeting today closed with no meaningful increase in oil production,” referring to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
