Trump: Hormuz is no longer the main factor in gasoline price hikes; it’s the refineries
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced that the increase in gasoline prices is no longer primarily due to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and stated that a large volume of oil is once again passing through this route. He claimed that the main pressure on fuel prices now comes from refineries, citing attacks by Ukraine on Russian refineries on one hand, and the closure of some refineries in the United States, especially in California, on the other.
