特朗普总统周一声称，炼油厂的运营中断才是推高飙升汽油价格的主因，而非伊朗在美以与其政权冲突爆发后关闭霍尔木兹海峡。“导致汽油价格上涨的已不再是霍尔木兹海峡，因为目前几乎每天都有创纪录数量的原油桶被运出。真正的问题在于‘炼油厂’——俄罗斯的炼油厂正被乌克兰炸毁，而美国的炼油厂则被‘蓝州’（如加利福尼亚州）的‘民主党人’（Dumocrats）关闭。”
President Trump on Monday claimed that disruptions to oil refineries are driving up the soaring cost of gas, not Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz following the start of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with its regime. "What's driving up Gasoline is no longer the Strait of Hormuz, because Record Numbers of Barrels are coming out now on an almost daily basis, but the word, 'Refineries,' where Russia's are being blown up by Ukraine, and where ours are being closed up, in Blue States, like California, by the Dumocrats," Trump wrote on Truth Social, using his insult to describe Democratic officials.
特朗普在Truth Social上写道，并用这一侮辱性称呼来指代民主党官员。海湾石油公司首席石油分析师汤姆·克洛扎告诉《国会山报》，特朗普声称俄乌战争是油价高企的原因“部分正确”，但他指出，波斯湾原油的价格已飙升至每桶33美元，而2月份仅为1.75美元。“这其中包含了保险、运费以及所有风险溢价，”他表示，并提到据报该海峡内的一些船只已遭遇袭击。
Tom Kloza, Gulf Oil's chief petroleum analyst, told The Hill that Trump's assertion that the Russia-Ukraine war is behind the high prices was "partially right" but noted that the price of crude oil from the Persian Gulf has ballooned to $33 per barrel, up from $1.75 in February. “That's insurance and freight and all the risk premiums,” he said, noting that some vessels in the strait have reportedly faced attacks.
“只要这种情况持续，原油价格就会一直附加着这种极高的风险溢价，即便你获得的原油量可能与2月28日时一样多。”这篇帖子是在特朗普此前于其社交平台发布类似内容之后发布的。在那篇帖子中，他提到乌克兰军事打击俄罗斯基础设施已导致俄罗斯“失去对其柴油油行业的控制”，并补充说俄罗斯正呼吁结束战争。“大量俄罗斯的柴油炼油厂已被炸毁，至少暂时无法运作，”特朗普在周日与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基通电话后，于Truth Social上写道。
“As long as that continues, you're going to have this incredible risk premium that's attached to the price of crude, even though you may be getting as much crude as you were getting on Feb. 28.”The post follows a similar one that Trump wrote on his social platform about how Ukrainian military strikes hitting Russian infrastructure have caused Russia to lose "control of its diesel oil industry," adding that the country is calling for the war to end. “A large number of their Diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social after speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the phone Sunday.
乌克兰国防部在周日晚些时候宣称，已使俄罗斯51%的炼油能力瘫痪。从今年年初以来，从莫斯科到西伯利亚的炼油厂接连遭到袭击，已引发严重的燃料危机。
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry late Sunday took credit for disabling 51 percent of Russia's oil refining capacity. Attacks on refineries from Moscow to Siberia have led to a massive fuel crisis since earlier this year.
随着伊朗战争持续发酵，特朗普试图重启结束俄罗斯在乌克兰战争的行动。这两场冲突都扰乱了全球能源出口，但根据AAA的数据，伊朗关闭海峡导致近几周美国汽油价格平均接近每加仑4.50美元，而去年全国平均价格为3.13美元。截至周一，美国汽油平均价格为4.37美元，柴油价格则达到平均每加仑6.53美元。美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳已进行长达数月的谈判，以结束俄罗斯与乌克兰之间持续四年的战争。
Trump has sought to relaunch efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine as the Iran war stretches on. Both conflicts have disrupted global energy exports, though Iran's closure of the strait has caused gas prices to reach a national average close to $4.50 in recent weeks, with last year's national average set down at $3.13, according to AAA. The average in the U.S. as of Monday was $4.37, with diesel prices hitting an average of $6.53. U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been engaged in months-long negotiations to end the four-year war between Russia and Ukraine.
据《纽约时报》近期报道，结束战争的谈判包括一项价值数十亿美元的协议，该协议将惠及与主要美国谈判代表有关联的中东商界高管。顽固的高油价正成为11月中期选举前日益严重的政治问题，许多共和党现任议员和候选人呼吁结束与伊朗的冲突，以降低油价。雷切尔·弗拉津也参与了相关报道。
Talks to end it include a multibillion-dollar deal that would benefit Middle Eastern business executives tied to the lead U.S. negotiators, according to recent reporting from The New York Times. Stubborn gas prices have become a growing political issue heading into the November midterm elections, with many Republican incumbents and candidates calling for the conflict with Iran to end so that gas prices can drop.
