'Real energy dominance': Trump unveils US refinery backed by 'historic pact' with India
In a senior officer progress, Head Donald Trump has announced the construction of a refinery on the southern US frontier backed by India's Reliance Industries, operator of the world's biggest refining complex.
Trump announced as drivers react to spiking gasoline prices since the start of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, and while Republicans and Democrats prepare for midterm elections that could determine which faction controls Congress through the last two years of his presidency.
"Thank you to our partners in India, and their largest privately held Energy Company, Reliance, for this tremendous Investment," Trump stated on the social press platform Truth Social.
The 168,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) refinery will be built at the port of Brownsville and will offset $300 billion in the import-export gap with India, startup America First Refining stated in a comment.
"For the first time in half a century, the United States will build a new refinery designed specifically for American shale oil," stated America First's chairman and founder, John V Calce.
