Trump correctly said California's average: $4.70/gal Trump did not correctly state the national average- it is $3.09/gal, not $2.50/gal, but this is slightly closer to reality instead of the previous $2/gal mentions
Trump: Costs are way down. Gasoline is at two dollars and fifty cents a gallon.

New Senate text is out -- and it makes even deeper cuts to wind and solar credits. Projects must now be "placed in service" by the end of 2027, the change sought by Trump and conservatives that developers say could kill 100s of projects. w/ @kelseytam

The changes came after President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to crack down on the credits.

NEWS: Trump pushes Thune to crack down on wind and solar IRA credits in megabill. The president is directly intervening in the talks to push for the House-passed harsher "placed in service standard" that moderates oppose @kelseytam @jamepdx
politico.com
The president is directly intervening in the talks to push for the quicker phase out of clean energy tax credits in the House bill, but that would likely face pushback from moderate GOP senators.

Energy dominance was the Trump campaign call, but U.S. oil and gas producers are backing off -- while OPEC is ramping up. The Saudis are hurting the US oil industry. Trump’s unlikely to talk about it. https://t.co/VFe5Fymgf0 via @politico

GasBuddy currently can not find any stations in the US reported below $2 per gallon yesterday or today. If it were to exist, the station would be selling below cost, which is not sustainable.
Reporter: You did say that you were confident these deals will be done but you also said you are in no rush. Americans are seeing prices rise. They are seeing it on their bills. How long can they expect that pain to last? Trump: So they have already seen it get much better
