Trump seems to miss that:

• Gasoline #prices in #USA have risen and will continue to rise due to disruptions in Middle East #oil supply, despite the US being a net crude oil & natural gas exporter

• Prices for products in general will likely rise for US #consumers due to higher #fuel costs (esp. diesel, which I posted yesterday)

• #Helium & #fertilizer—both essential for US industries—are taking a supply hit due to the closure of #StraitOfHormuz
