President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced America First Refining (AFR) is opening the first new U.S. oil refinery in nearly half a century in Brownsville, Texas. Situated in a massive deep-water foreign trade zone, the project will leverage advanced infrastructure and strategic rail and sea connections to transport low-carbon fuels and other energy products.
"America is returning to REAL ENERGY DOMINANCE!" Trump wrote in an announcement on Truth Social. "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!"

A new refinery!?
that’s a HUGE deal!
Yep. We need it.
$300 billion? More than the total US budget 50 years ago.
It’s going to have to produce a lot of oil to make up for the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz and all the oil facilities damaged and shutdown in this unnecessary war with Iran.
Better build a pipeline to the Permian Basin. Not sure there is one. I think there is one that goes to Corpus but they ain’t got any water. Dire straits for them.
I love this Man.
One of the greatest Presidents of all time.
Might be able to process Venezuelan crude
“It’s going to have to produce a lot of oil to make up for the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz and all the oil facilities damaged and shutdown in this unnecessary war with Iran.”
Uh, refineries d9 NOT produce oil ...
It’s “historic,” but only in the sense that it will never happen.
It makes no sense to build a new refinery when existing refineries can be expanded.
In the immortal words of Gen. William T. Sherman, "War's hell!".
Are you related to the Ayatollah?
What brand will be put on it? Are we looking at a new MAGA PETROLEUM brand that will compete with the likes of Chevron, Valero, Exxon, Phillips 66, etc?
“unnecessary war with Iran”
So, given 47 years of evil,
where exactly, would you
draw the line?
The Iranian regime would
have you believe it’s raining
as they’re passing on your
leg.
I hope there are anti drone systems around that refinery….in today’s world, it’s a big target!
Refineries don't produce oil. You want to tell you didn't know that?
Newsom is kicking refineries out of California.
Never mind. He’s on a roll. As he always is on every thread.
Do you also think refineries also produce oil?
