US President Trump is downplaying the impact of the Iran war on the US population. They can still be felt, and how. The price of a gallon of diesel is rising to record levels. This fact not only makes refueling in the USA significantly more expensive.

The price of diesel has also continued to rise in the USA: According to the AAA automobile club, a gallon (3.8 liters) cost just under 6.27 dollars (5.43 euros), which is a new record. Around a year ago, farmers and transporters paid $3.71 (3.22 euros) per gallon. In the USA, diesel is mainly used in commercial vehicles.

In the USA, the massive rise in fuel prices has been causing discontent for months. They also drive up food costs. For some foods, fuel costs for transport account for 15 to 30 percent of the total costs, according to estimates by the supermarket association IGA.

Democrats have made consumer prices a key campaign issue ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm congressional elections. According to polls, President Donald Trump's Republican Party is at risk of defeat.

Trump attacked Iran together with Israel a good six months ago. Tehran then largely blocked the Strait of Hormuz, which is important for world trade, and in return the USA imposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports. As a result, oil prices rose massively worldwide.

The US President spoke on Sunday of a "diesel shortage" and reiterated his assessment that the increase in global diesel prices was "largely caused by the Russia-Ukraine war" and not by the Iran war. On Monday, Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine would no longer attack energy facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj spoke of a "proposal" from Washington and said Kiev was ready to de-escalate if Moscow stopped its attacks.

In Germany, the price of premium E10 gasoline rose to a new record high over the weekend. The nationwide daily average on Sunday cost a liter of 2,273 euros, as the ADAC announced. That was 1.7 cents more than on Friday. Diesel even increased by 3.5 cents. A liter cost an average of 2.404 euros a day on Sunday, only 4.3 cents away from its record.
