Washington, DC — Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI) released the following statement in reaction to skyrocketing oil prices as a result of Trump’s reckless war with Iran. Overnight, oil prices surged to nearly $120 a barrel because of disruption to oil production in the Middle East and Michigan families are paying for it.
“From the start, the Trump Administration has been a disaster for American families. From his erratic tariffs to his reckless war, it’s clear that Trump’s agenda only causes chaos throughout the world while making life more unaffordable for Americans here at home. America cannot afford the $1 billion a day we’re paying for this war, and American families cannot afford the price hikes for oil and gas we’re seeing because the Trump Administration didn’t anticipate Iran’s response. President Trump rushed into war without a plan, without a justification, and without an exit strategy, and the world is now in more chaos than it was a week ago. It is unacceptable that American servicemembers and innocent civilians are dying while American families pay the price.”
