Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) has stated that ending foreign wars is the best way to lower gas prices. These comments come amid the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Israel between the two countries. Moore suggested that the state could consider waiving the gas tax, which is one of the higher ones in the country. The average price of a gallon of regular gas in the US is around $4.11, up from around $3.25 a month ago.
