As Pump Prices Hit Iran War Highs, Duffy Claims They'll Fall Immediately After Hormuz Reopens As pump prices for gasoline (and diesel) hit Iran War highs, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Sunday that gasoline prices should begin to decline “immediately” once shipping resumes through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing back against analyst warnings that relief for consumers could take months. Duffy, speaking on ABC’s “This Week” program on May 3, acknowledged that prices may take time to return to pre-war levels but said reopening the critical oil transit chokepoint would quickly ease pressure at the pump. “Once the Strait opens, you'll see prices come down, come down immediately,” Duffy said. “There’s going to be a tail to that ... but you’re going to see, I think, immediate relief.” As Tom Ozimek reports for The Epoch Times, prior to Duffy’s remarks, several analysts featured on the program said they expect fuel prices to climb further and predicted that a sustained decline could take months. The transport chief’s comments come as U.S. fuel prices have risen to their highest levels in roughly four years, driven by disruptions linked to the Iran conflict and constrained flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime transit route that typically carries about one-quarter of global oil shipments. Duffy’s remarks build on recent statements by President Donald Trump, who said on April 30 that gas prices would “drop like a rock” once the Iran war ends. It comes as the Trump administration has launched “Project Freedom,” a military-backed effort to ease disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said on May 4 that about 15,000 U.S. personnel, along with guided-missile destroyers, aircraft, and unmanned systems, would support merchant vessels “seeking to freely transit” the strait. Iran’s military responded to the initiative by threatening to target U.S. forces entering the waterway. Prices Climb as Disruptions Persist Oil prices rose again on ...

President Claudia Sheinbaum ’s government unveiled plans meant to increase private investment into Mexico as she seeks to kickstart an economy that contracted to start the year. The effort centers on the creation of a new presidential investment office, simplified tax procedures and the elimination of bureaucracy, Jose Merino, the head of Mexico’s digital transformation agency, said alongside Sheinbaum at a Monday event in Mexico City. The government will grant automatic approval to investments into strategic sectors, including energy, semiconductors, automobiles, tourism and advanced manufacturing, Merino said. Projects worth at least 2 billion pesos ($114 million) will receive the same green light. It will also auto approve projects located in so-called welfare hubs — designated industrial zones where the government has specifically sought to boost investment. All other investments must be approved within 90 days, or will be deemed authorized under the new rules, he said. Sheinbaum and her allies have made attracting investment a top priority as her flagship development program, known as Plan Mexico, has struggled to get off the ground . Mexico’s economy shrank in the first quarter , and investment has sagged due to declining business confidence and rampant uncertainty about the North American free trade pact known as USMCA. Reducing bureaucracy has been central to the effort, amid complaints from business groups that Mexico’s tax and administrative hurdles are incompatible with Sheinbaum’s stated aim. The new presidential investment office will preside over a committee that includes the ministers of economy, finance, energy and other members of the cabinet. It will be in charge of authorizations. The government will issue a decree later Monday that aims to streamline tax procedures by directing authorities to avoid double taxation, reduce audit times and limit audits to one per year, per taxpayer, Finance Minister Edgar Amador said at the event. Tax authorities w...

Cole Allen was isolated from other inmates, denied a Bible and placed on suicide watch despite showing no suicidal tendencies Sign up for the Breaking News US newsletter email A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible. The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history. Continue reading...
