Trump announces opening of oil refinery in Texas 11-Mar 06:25

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday ‌the opening of an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas and thanked Indian energy company Reliance for ​its investment.

Trump made the announcement ​on Truth Social, saying the America First ⁠Refining project would "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."

Trump said it was a $300 ​billion deal, but it was not immediately clear if ‌he ⁠meant that was part of a bigger deal with India.

In 2024 Element Fuels Holdings, a Dallas-area startup proposing to ​build the ​first ⁠all-new U.S. oil refinery in nearly 50 years, said it ​was relaunching efforts to build ​a ⁠large plant in Brownsville.
