Gas Prices in America and all over the world have been shooting through the roof lately. Many Americans blame President Biden for the ridiculous increase from around three and a half dollars to over five. It’s a worldwide issue that has affected everyone and here’s the cause.

Russia has been at odds with Ukraine since 2014 but has officially declared war on them since around February of this year. It’s been devastating to Ukraine physically but has hurt other countries financially. Russia cut imports of their oil to America, meaning the prices would be on the rise due to the fact that 8% of our oil was from them. It has gone up 17 percent since the invasion and Americans are upset. Many blame Biden because he put a ban on Russian energy being imported to America in retaliation for the invasion. Many other countries like Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, and plenty of Europe have been affected by this as well, though. President Biden does not control the entire world, therefore, we are not in this alone.
