Le président américain Donald Trump said Sunday that oil and gasoline prices could remain high until the midterm elections scheduled for November, acknowledging the economic and political consequences of the war against Iran.
Speaking from Florida, Donald Trump acknowledged that the current energy situation, marked by major geopolitical tensions, risks having a lasting impact on American consumers. This price increase comes amid disruptions in global oil markets.
The president recently announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for oil shipments, which has heightened concerns about energy supplies and driven up prices. This decision is part of escalating tensions with Iran.
Politically, these statements come at a time when Donald Trump's popularity has been declining since the beginning of the conflict. Some Democratic elected officials are questioning the administration's strategy, believing that its choices could have negative economic consequences for American households.
The midterm elections are shaping up to be highly charged, with energy costs as a central issue for voters. The administration's ability to stabilize prices could play a decisive role in the election outcome.
