Gavin Newsom. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hasnie cited an article in The Washington Post to Burgum that quoted industry experts as warning that gas prices \u201care about to soar as the commercial and government inventories that have mitigated price rises so far are rapidly depleting.\u201d It could be just \u201cweeks\u201d away, she noted.<\/p>\n<p>That possibility appeared more likely as yet another Trump promise that Iran and the U.S. were close to a deal to end the war and reopen the oil-critical Strait of Hormuz appeared to be dissolving yet again.<\/p>\n<p>If the deal Trump has touted doesn\u2019t happen and the U.S. continues to burn through its strategic petroleum reserve, Hasnie asked Burgum: \u201cIs there a backup plan? Is there something that you guys have up your sleeve to get through the summer months?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strangely, Burgum ultimately responded by noting that a Fox News map of rising gas prices made him \u201csmile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1310\">Ex-Trump Goon Melts Down and Calls Tucker \u2018Rachel Maddow\u2019 of the Right<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about like if a weather reporter said, \u2018Here\u2019s the temperature in America tomorrow.
