Trump blames Democrats and Ukraine for soaring US fuel prices, not Iran war
Trump shifts blame for fuel price hikes to blue states like California and Ukraine strikes on Russian oil refineries.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Trump shifting blame for high fuel prices away from the Iran war. Al Jazeera frames the claim as blame directed at Democrats and Ukraine, while The Independent foregrounds Ukraine alone and says his post tries to deflect blame onto Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. Only The Independent’s extract also mentions the Iran war and a standstill in the Hormuz Strait.
