JUST NOW: Trump says Ukraine and Russia have each agreed to stop hitting the other's energy targets, and that global diesel prices are "mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran." ๐ท๐บ ๐บ๐ฆ
If Trump actually got both sides to agree to leave energy infrastructure alone, that's the kind of quiet, unglamorous win that ends wars, mutual de-escalation nobody has to lose face over, brokered by a president willing to work both Kyiv and Moscow directly instead of picking a side and hoping. Analysts arguing over which war contributes more to the diesel number are missing that Trump is the only leader treating the price at the pump as something worth personally fixing at all, rather than an acceptable side effect of conflicts other administrations would just let run.
Whether Iran or Ukraine is the bigger factor, both wars are adding to the same number, and getting one of them to actually de-escalate on energy targets removes real pressure from that price regardless of how the percentages split.
