What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump stated that rising gasoline prices are caused by Ukraine disabling Russia's oil refining industry and by American Democrats blocking the operation of U.S. refineries in states that consistently support the Democratic Party. Trump noted that while record barrels are currently coming out, the issues are the refinery attacks and the closures in these states.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Trump attributes increased gasoline prices to a combination of geopolitical actions against Russian refining capacity and domestic political actions restricting U.S. refinery operations. This suggests that supply constraints, whether military or regulatory, are influencing energy costs.
