Unfulfilled promise of Trump. "Violent increases"

Trump promised significant reductions in energy costs, but fuel prices have surged instead. Gasoline prices are currently averaging $4.20 per gallon, nearly 40% higher than last year. Diesel has increased by about 70%, reaching $6.32 per gallon. The rise in prices follows U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, which disrupted oil transport. Market fears of further escalation in the Middle East could drive prices even higher before Thanksgiving, impacting agriculture and transportation. Trump announced an $8 billion aid program for farmers to address rising diesel costs.
