First new US oil refinery in 50 years set for construction in Texas
SUMMARY
A new oil refinery is set to be built in Brownsville, Texas, marking the first construction of its kind in the U.S. in 50 years. America First Refining plans to invest $300 billion into the project, which is projected to create thousands of jobs. The refinery will process up to 60 million barrels of U.S. light shale oil annually and enhance domestic energy security.
President Trump hailed the project as a significant win for U.S. workers and emphasized that it would not depend on imported crude oil. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar also expressed support, noting the boost in economic opportunities.
