President Trump called for oil companies to reduce retail gasoline prices after supply disruptions caused by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, but economic analysis warns that price controls could lead to supply shortages, underinvestment in domestic energy, and harm the US economy.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
