US President Joe Biden said there are no plans to cut gas prices until early next year, CNN reports..

" I do not see anything that could have happened during this time, which would have significantly reduced gas prices, "

" And this is due to the fact that OPEC is withholding supplies. And so there are many negotiations, many people from the Middle East who want to talk to me. I'm not sure I'm going to talk to them, "
