US Democratic Congressman Richard Neal has slammed the Trump administration amid soaring prices spurred by the US-Israel war on Iran, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, Neal says US households are each paying an additional $750 due to the conflict.

“The price of a tank of gasoline in many places has gone up by almost 50 per cent. That’s a staggering amount,” Neal stated. “The administration continues to argue that down is up, and to convince people that their pain should be subjugated to patriotic causes.”
