On Tuesday, average diesel prices in the United States reached a record high of just under $6.27 per gallon. The surge in fuel costs comes as President Donald Trump attempts to place the blame on Kyiv.

The record fuel prices are placing significant political pressure on President Trump as the country approaches upcoming midterm congressional elections.
