Average US diesel prices reached a record just below $6.27 a gallon on Tuesday, adding pressure on President Donald Trump ahead of the midterm congressional elections. Prices have surged as Washington’s war with Iran disrupts global fuel flows, while Trump has repeatedly downplayed the war’s impact and blamed Kyiv for attacks on Russian oil refineries.
