March 7 (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic Senator Mark Kelly proposed on Friday to suspend the federal gasoline tax of 18.4 cents per gallon until October 1 to help Americans facing rising gas prices due to the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict. According to data from AAA, a U.S. travel organization that tracks fuel prices, national gasoline prices rose 35 cents in the past week, reaching an average of $3.32 per gallon. Political analysts say the continued rise in gasoline prices could be detrimental to Trumps Republican allies in the November midterm elections, who are striving to retain their congressional majority. Kelly plans to submit the bill to the Senate next week. If the bill passes, the U.S. Treasury Department will oversee the implementation of the tax suspension to ensure that the saved tax revenue is truly used to lower gasoline prices and benefit consumers.March 7 – According to AFP and other foreign media reports, the White House confirmed on March 6 that US President Trump will attend the handover ceremony for the remains of six US soldiers on March 7.
