- Jarrod Agen, Trump's energy adviser, said gasoline affordability is "the top issue that the president looks at" at an Axios House event on Tuesday.
- The Trump administration is championing energy savings from its deregulatory push, per the article's "Why it matters" framing, which references overseas conflicts — including what it calls the Iran war — as part of that context.
