Trump Again Blames Ukraine for Rising US Diesel Prices, Dismissing Middle East War Impact
What happened
US President Donald Trump has attributed rising US diesel prices to Ukraine, without mentioning the impact of the US-Israeli war with Iran on global tanker exports or disruptions in the Red Sea.

In contrast, Russian President Vladimir Putin has downplayed the effect of Ukraine's strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure.
