Font size

Trump begründete diesen Schritt mit den hohen Kraftstoffpreisen in den USA. Diese könnten den Republikanern bei den Zwischenwahlen am 3. November Stimmen kosten. Die Preise seien seit Beginn des US-Kriegs gegen Iran vor sieben Monaten stark gestiegen.

Als wichtigen Faktor nennt Trump allerdings auch ukrainische Angriffe auf russische Ölraffinerien. »Ich habe die richtige Entscheidung für das amerikanische Volk getroffen – immer: Amerika zuerst!«, schrieb Trump am Montag in den sozialen Medien.

Am Montag wies Selenskyj im US-Sender Fox News Trumps Darstellung zurück, die ukrainischen Angriffe seien der Hauptgrund für die steigenden Dieselpreise. Entscheidend sei vielmehr die Blockade der Straße von Hormus. Diese wichtige Schifffahrtsroute ist für den internationalen Ölhandel von großer Bedeutung.

US Congress: “Intimidation”? Search of U.S. Rep. Omar

Federal agents searched the Washington-area home of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Fox News and NBC News reported. Leading Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries described the raid as disturbing and warned against the federal government's instrumentalization against Trump's opponents. The Justice Department said the search was part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation into allegations of fraud related to Omar's immigration records, according to Fox News. Omar herself spoke of political intimidation and referred to Trump's long-standing attacks against her. The search took place three weeks before the congressional election in Minnesota's district, in which Omar is running for re-election.

He emphasizes that it is not about holding on to office, but rather about positioning the party in the best possible way.
