Trump blames war-ravaged Ukraine’s efforts to fight off Russia — for our sky-high gas prices

President’s new Truth Social post attempts to deflect blame for sky-high fuel costs on Ukraine attacks on Russian refineries — as Iran war and Hormuz Strait standstill continues with no end in sight

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.
