US President Joe Biden turned to the owners of gas stations with an appeal to reduce gas prices, explaining that now the “time of war and global danger.”
“reduce the price that you take at the gas station to reflect the cost you pay for the product. And do it now,” Biden wrote on Twitter.
The cost of gasoline in the United States in June exceeded the record $ 5 per gallon. On July 2, it is at $ 4.8 compared to $ 3.1 in July 2021. The cost of gasoline is growing following the rise in price of oil, the price of which has increased significantly after the introduction of restrictions against Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
