Donald Trump took to Truth Social to make a major announcement about establishing the first new U.S. oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas. The $300 billion deal, backed by Reliance Industries, would mark the first step toward America building a new refinery in 50 years.
He further wrote, “THE BIGGEST IN U.S. HISTORY, A MASSIVE WIN for American Workers, Energy, and the GREAT People of South Texas! Thank you to our partners in India, and their largest privately held Energy Company, Reliance, for this tremendous Investment. It is because of our America First Agenda, streamlining Permits, and lowering Taxes, that have attracted Billions of Dollars in Deals coming back to our Nation.”
Also, he went on to explain how this new refinery will benefit the people of America and contribute to global trade and employment. “A new Refinery at the Port of Brownsville, will fuel U.S. Markets, strengthen our National Security, boost American Energy production, deliver Billions of Dollars in Economic impact, and will be THE CLEANEST REFINERY IN THE WORLD. It will power Global Exports, and bring THOUSANDS of long overdue Jobs and Growth to a Region that deserves it,” he elaborated.
He concluded his message hailing America, as he believes it’s entering an era of energy dominance with this massive investment. Notably, this deal comes in light of the ongoing conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which has heightened tensions in the Middle East and led to a surge in global oil prices.
