US President Donald Trump previously blamed Ukraine for rising global gasoline prices. Now he has added the Democratic Party to his list of culprits, according to Rapid Response 47.
Trump blames Ukraine and Democrats
The American leader stated that gasoline prices are rising not because of the Strait of Hormuz.
"Because record numbers of barrels are coming now on an almost daily basis," the president said.
He believes prices have risen because of the situation with oil refineries.
"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 said.
As previously reported, Trump again claimed that Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, rather than his war in the Middle East, were responsible for rising diesel prices.
In addition, over the past several weeks, Trump has repeatedly said that Ukraine must stop striking Russian infrastructure because it allegedly causes a global diesel fuel shortage.
