Trump Announces First New U.S. Oil Refinery in 50 Years — $300 Billion “America First” Energy Project Coming to Texas
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the first new oil refinery built in the United States in nearly half a century will rise in Brownsville, Texas, a move he hailed as a major victory for American workers, energy independence, and national security.
Trump revealed the project in a post on Truth Social, declaring that the massive investment signals the return of “REAL ENERGY DOMINANCE.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“America is returning to REAL ENERGY DOMINANCE! Today I am proud to announce that America First Refining is opening the FIRST new U.S. Oil Refinery in 50 YEARS in Brownsville, Texas. THIS IS A HISTORIC $300 BILLION DOLLAR DEAL — 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.
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. This is what AMERICAN ENERGY DOMINANCE looks like. AMERICA FIRST, ALWAYS!”
Developers say the refinery will process roughly 168,000 barrels of crude per day, strengthening domestic supply chains while reducing reliance on foreign refining capacity.
Construction on the refinery is expected to begin later in 2026.
This game-changing announcement comes as no surprise to those who have followed President Trump’s relentless push for energy independence.
As The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported, Trump has been dismantling the Biden-Harris regime’s disastrous anti-energy policies since day one of his second term.
Just last year, as TGP reported, Trump created the National Energy Dominance Council, chaired by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, to slash red tape and unleash America’s fossil fuel potential.
And let’s not forget Trump’s bold withdrawal from the crippling Paris Climate Accord—AGAIN! This move freed American industry from globalist shackles, paving the way for massive investments like this $300 billion partnership with India’s Reliance Industries.
