Mr. 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.”

“Thank you to our partners in India, and their largest privately held Energy Company, Reliance, for this tremendous Investment,” the post read.

He ‌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.
