> Average US diesel prices climbed to just under $6.27 a gallon on Tuesday, a record high that puts pressure on Donald Trump ahead of the congressional midterms. Prices have surged as Washington’s war with Iran disrupts global fuel flows, while Trump has downplayed the impact and blamed Kyiv for attacks on Russian refineries.
