Gregory Meeks, a top Democrat on the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, has said that Trump's “disastrous Iran war” has driven up fuel prices and Americans were paying the price, while condemning his plan to buy diesel from Russia. In a post on X, Meeks said: "Weeks after signing a bill aimed at sanctioning buyers of Russian energy, Trump announces the United States will buy it. I condemn this reversal: instead of putting economic pressure on Putin for his invasion of Ukraine, Trump continues to appease him. His disastrous Iran war has sent gas and diesel costs soaring and Americans are paying the price."
