"Between their direct effect on #inflation & their indirect effect on #interestrates, then, high #diesel #prices are an #economic #problem for #America & a #political problem for... #Trump. Ukraine’s strikes on #Russia are contributing to that problem. So Trump... has good reasons to want #Ukraine to stop its highly effective #air #campaign.
