'One man is to blame': US Senator says Trump responsible for sharp rise in fuel price
24 March 2026 01:03 GMT
US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blamed President Donald Trump for a sharp rise in gasoline prices, saying costs have jumped nearly 75 percent in less than a month.
“One man is to blame: Donald Trump,” Schumer said in a post on X, adding that prices rose from $2.93 to $3.94 per gallon.
Schumer, a Democrat, has opposed Trump’s decision to launch attacks on Iran and called for an end to the war.
In a separate post, he said tens of billions of dollars “are being wasted” on the conflict.
