BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 11. Amid the growing global economic impact of the war, the United States is witnessing a sharp increase in diesel and fuel prices. TurkicWorld reports that problems in the transportation and logistics sectors have begun affecting the prices of everyday consumer goods.
US President Donald Trump had initially stated that supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz would not seriously affect the American economy. He emphasized that the US is an oil-exporting country and said the situation would remain under control.
However, subsequent developments have shown growing chain reactions within the US economy. In particular, the price of diesel — the primary fuel used for transporting goods to supermarkets has risen sharply.
Experts say rising transportation costs are directly affecting the prices of everyday food products, and the impact is already being felt by the American public.
Donald Trump continues to insist that the situation will normalize after the war ends. However, the White House has not yet provided a specific timeline for when that might happen.
The president initially suggested the crisis could last a few days, but later admitted it might continue for several weeks. At present, the situation is being assessed based on Washington’s next steps.
