Translated by Qiyas from النهار — Original source
US President Donald Trump is meeting with top executives from US fuel refining and distribution companies in an effort to explore ways to lower gasoline prices and boost domestic refining capacity, amid ongoing pressures stemming from the conflict with Iran. The meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday and will include representatives from major fuel producers and distributors. The move comes as fuel prices remain at elevated levels; according to data from the American Automobile Association, the average price of gasoline in the United States exceeds $4 per gallon, while diesel prices are approaching $6 per gallon. Two informed sources said that representatives from refining companies such as Valero Energy, Marathon Petroleum, and BP Energy, along with major retailers, are expected to attend the meeting.
