Duffy: Once the Strait Opens You’ll See ‘Immediate Relief’ on Gas Prices

On Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that once the Strait of Hormuz is open, consumers will see “immediate relief” in gas prices.

Partial transcript as follows:

HOST MARTHA RADDATZ: We just heard our experts say gas prices could break record highs and even if the Strait opened today, it would take months to recover and for those gas prices to go down. What is your reaction?

DUFFY: Well, a couple of things. I’ll tell you that every time I go into the Oval Office, I hear the president talk about energy prices. That’s been going on since he took this — a second term in Washington. He’s been concerned about American energy dominance, making sure Americans produce more, we drive energy prices down. But he’s also confronted with the idea that, could there be a nuclear Iran? And he understands the threat of that reality.
