Trump Announces First New U.S. Oil Refinery in 50 Years in Texas
$300 billion project in Brownsville to boost American energy production with investment support from India’s Reliance.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans for the first new oil refinery to be built in the United States in nearly five decades. The refinery will be constructed in Brownsville, Texas, and is part of what Trump described as a historic $300 billion investment aimed at strengthening America’s energy sector.
According to Trump, the project will be developed by America First Refining and will be located at the Port of Brownsville in southern Texas. He called the investment the largest deal in U.S. history and said it would mark a major step toward restoring what he described as “American energy dominance.”
Trump also acknowledged the involvement of India’s largest private energy company, Reliance Industries, thanking partners in India for their role in supporting the investment. The project is expected to enhance energy production capacity in the United States and strengthen economic ties between the two countries.
The refinery is expected to boost domestic fuel supply, strengthen national energy security, and contribute billions of dollars in economic impact to the region. Officials say the project could generate thousands of jobs and stimulate economic growth in South Texas.
Trump said the initiative aligns with his “America First” agenda, which focuses on reducing regulatory hurdles, streamlining permits, and lowering taxes to attract major investments into the United States. He added that the refinery will aim to be one of the cleanest refining facilities in the world while supporting global energy exports.
If completed as planned, the Brownsville refinery could become a key part of the United States’ energy infrastructure and mark a significant milestone in the country’s oil and refining industry.
