The project will be backed by India\u2019s energy giant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/company\/RELIANCE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Reliance Industries<\/a> and is planned at the Port of Brownsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump revealed the plan in a post on the social media platform Truth Social, calling it a \u201chistoric\u201d agreement and the largest deal of its kind in US history. According to the president, the refinery will significantly increase domestic energy production, strengthen national security, and create thousands of jobs in South Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his announcement, Trump thanked India and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ril.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Reliance<\/a> for their investment and said the project reflects growing international confidence in the US energy sector. He attributed the development to policies under his \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda, which he said focused on faster permit approvals and lower taxes to attract large-scale industrial investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The refinery is expected to play a key role in supplying fuel to US markets while also supporting exports to global buyers. Trump said the facility would deliver billions of dollars in economic activity to the region and claimed it would be designed to become \u201cthe cleanest refinery in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement comes at a time when global energy markets are facing supply concerns amid rising geopolitical tensions. Recent escalation in the Middle East, including the killing of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in joint US-Israel strikes and retaliatory attacks by Iran, has raised fears of disruptions in key oil supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US officials have acknowledged that oil and gas prices may remain volatile in the short term but say increased domestic production and infrastructure projects like the Texas refinery could help stabilize energy markets over the longer term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump has announced a $300 billion investment to build a new oil&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[107],"class_list":["post-623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy","tag-reliance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=623"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":625,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions\/625"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bullscreen.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
