President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine, not his war in Iran, on Monday for rising gas prices in the United States.
Despite the energy shock caused by Iran disrupting commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth of the world’s oil and gas comes from, Trump argued that Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure are to blame.
“What’s driving up Gasoline is no longer the Strait of Hormuz, because Record Numbers of Barrels are coming out now on an almost daily basis, but the word, ‘Refineries,’ where Russia’s are being blown up by Ukraine, and where ours are being closed up, in Blue States, like California, by the Dumocrats,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
