Trump Blasted for Latest ‘Bulls—T’ Rant on Gas Prices: ‘Can’t Stop Lying’
Trump said closed U.S. refineries in Democrat-led states and Ukraine’s attacks on Russian energy facilities are driving gasoline prices higher.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that rising gasoline prices stem from Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries and U.S. refinery closures in 'Blue States,' shifting blame from the Strait of Hormuz.
- Amid broader economic pressures, Americans pay approximately $67 more monthly for gasoline and at least $139 more for diesel than last year, following conflicts involving Iran that disrupted access to the Strait of Hormuz.
- Contrary to Trump's claims, most American refining capacity is based in GOP-controlled states like Texas and Louisiana. The Group of Seven industrialized nations announced Friday plans to release 100 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly called for an 'energy ceasefire,' which Russian officials termed a 'good idea,' as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated readiness to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure if Moscow reciprocated.
- Vice President JD Vance expressed cautious optimism about diplomatic progress, though he characterized Russia's war against Ukraine as 'the most difficult international conflict' to resolve amid ongoing energy infrastructure attacks.
