President Joe Biden blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday for the latest spike in gas prices, suggesting the foreign leader had enacted a “gas tax” on America by invading Ukraine.
Biden spoke about how in 2021, the used car market was artificially high because of a shortage of available computer chips.
“This year we have a similar problem, but it’s because of energy because of Putin’s gas tax,” he said, describing the tax as “the gas tax of him causing such a disruption in oil markets around the world.”
The AAA national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.574, breaking the previous record set in early March.
