Gasoline prices in the U.S. surged by 21.2 percent in one month: The highest since 1967.

The shock of rising prices across the country has also affected President Donald Trump, who has ordered peace negotiations with Iran.

The inflation rate rose to 3.3 percent on an annual basis in March, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For comparison, the same Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 2.4 percent on an annual basis a month earlier.

Gasoline prices increased by 21.2 percent between February and March, marking the largest monthly rise since the government began publishing this index in 1967, reports the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Despite being the world's largest producer of crude oil, the United States has also felt the repercussions, as fuel prices at the pump have surged sharply.

A gallon (3.78 liters) of regular gasoline currently averages $4.15 in the United States, compared to around $3 just before the war.

The administration of Donald Trump, elected in part on the promise to curb inflation, claims that the economic disruptions caused by the war will be temporary.
