Trump blames Ukraine's war effort for high US gas prices

Original: Trump blames war-ravaged Ukraine’s efforts to fight off Russia — for our sky-high gas prices

Donald Trump has claimed that Ukraine's resistance to Russia's invasion is responsible for elevated gasoline prices in the United States. The remark, reported by The Independent, draws criticism for shifting blame onto a country defending itself against a full-scale Russian attack rather than on energy markets, production levels or pricing policies. Observers are debating the accuracy and fairness of the claim.

Why now: A former US president made a controversial statement linking the Ukraine war to American fuel costs.
