President Donald Trump earlier this month praised a “very smart retailer” called the Freedom Fuel Network in the Philadelphia area for voluntarily lowering the price of gas to $3.47 a gallon, undercutting the state average by about 50 cents.
While the network lists 25 gas stations throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, a review of public records found scant information about the Freedom Fuel Network, and industry analysts have raised doubts that the stations could profitably sell fuel at that price point, with one expert describing the business model as “jumping off a cliff.”

About Article
Trending is a news segment that talks about the top stories currently being discussed on social media and other popular sites. It was originally a feature in the US version of CNN’s Breaking News, but has now been integrated into the global edition of the network. Trending also appears in the global version of NBC’s Today show, and on other 24-hour news channels. In North America, breaking news typically interrupts current non-news programming (or occasionally, regularly scheduled national network newscasts). It is often introduced with a countdown sequence and accompanied by a distinctive music cue known as a newsflash or special report.
