🇺🇸 Trump Blames Ukraine for Diesel Price Surge

US President Donald Trump stated that rising diesel fuel prices are primarily driven by Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, rather than instability in the Middle East.

"Diesel is suffering significantly more because of what is happening in Russia," Trump said. He noted that refineries producing diesel are being taken out of operation at a "quite alarming rate." According to him, if these attacks had not occurred, the US would not be facing current diesel supply issues.

Trump previously urged Zelensky to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, but received a refusal. The White House emphasizes that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine remains the main cause of global diesel market disruptions.
