Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas identified the war in Ukraine as the primary cause of increased diesel prices, according to The Hill.

He stated that the conflict has led to a decrease in diesel production, contributing to higher energy costs.

Marshall highlighted energy expenses as a significant issue as the midterm elections approach.

The focus on diesel prices reflects broader concerns about the economic impact of international events on domestic energy markets.
