Trump Blames Ukraine for Fuel Crisis Caused by His Iran Policy

obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian) —

President Trump has blamed Ukraine for rising diesel prices and American farmer bankruptcies, a claim disputed by analysis of global oil market impacts. The price surge follows Trump's war with Iran, which led to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz, halting about 20% of global oil supply. In contrast, Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries reduced exports by roughly 1% of the world market, making Trump's actions twenty times more impactful. Critics argue Trump is deflecting responsibility for his failed Iran strategy and inability to reopen the strait before elections, using repeated false claims to mislead voters with low critical thinking skills.
