LA Times columnist Michael Hiltzik reports that diesel prices have risen since the announcement (from $6.20 to $6.35 per gallon), and attributes the broader 67% increase since February to Trump's Iran war strangling crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, not Ukraine.
“The week before his announcement, the average diesel price in the U.S. was $6.20 per gallon. At the beginning of last week, the average was $6.35.”
