Trump Blames Ukraine for Record US Diesel Prices

Original: ⚡ NEWS Trump Blames Ukraine for Diesel Price Hikes Amid Iran Tensions President Trump attributed record US diesel prices

President Donald Trump attributed record US diesel prices, which have reached $6.53 a gallon, to attacks in Ukraine rather than his administration's policies on Iran. The claim runs against broader economic analyses of what is driving fuel costs higher, and is drawing criticism as tensions with Iran continue.

Why now: Record diesel prices are hitting consumers and Trump's attribution to Ukraine amid Iran tensions is politically contentious.
