What happened
Karoline Leavitt commented on Fox News regarding the high cost of gasoline in Colorado. She stated that the current price increase is temporary due to the Iran war, but before the operation, gas was $1.99 in Colorado because of Donald Trump's energy plan. Leavitt also noted that the Iran conflict led to the Strait of Hormuz closing, which caused a sharp rise in gas prices and the general cost of living.
