President Donald Trump and lawmakers are eyeing federal gas tax relief, but opponents argue a pause wouldn't help consumers and could harm roads.

President Donald Trump says he plans to suspend the federal gas tax "for a period of time" as part of a move to curb high prices at the pump.

Suspending the tax could wind up pushing up prices more and would hurt the Highway Trust Fund, which depends on the revenue from the levy.

President Donald Trump has proposed suspending the federal gas tax, but it would require an act by Congress.
