During Trump's presidency, gasoline prices in the US rose by more than a third, -. The Financial Times publication reports that a gallon of gasoline has reached about $4.27 — more than a third more expensive than it was in January 2025, when Trump returned to the White House. Trump promised to lower prices to $2 per liter, but the war with Iran led to disruptions in the supply of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and damage to energy infrastructure in the Middle East. Diesel prices rose even more significantly - more than 70% during Trump's second term, reaching $6.35 a gallon.
