Geopolitical Impact
The war in Iran is a major factor, causing global oil market instability and price surges that are difficult to control by any administration.
Energy Dominance
Previous administrations weakened America's energy independence by curtailing domestic oil and gas production, making the nation more susceptible to international price fluctuations.
Economic Strain
