US VP Vance says ‘we know we got a problem’ with petrol prices

US Vice President JD Vance has acknowledged that “we got a problem” regarding the rising petrol prices amid the US-Israel war on Iran.

“Gas [petrol] prices are up. We know they’re up, and we know people are hurting because of it,” he said during a speech at a manufacturing facility in Michigan.

“We got a problem – we know that we got a problem,” he added, saying measures to address the issue could be announced within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Vance did not provide further details, saying he did not want to pre-empt President Donald Trump.
