The refinery will be developed by America First Refining at the Port of Brownsville on the Texas Gulf Coast. Trump said the project would process 100 per cent American shale oil, enhance national energy security and generate billions of dollars in economic impact while creating jobs. He also described it as potentially the cleanest refinery in the world.
Trump thanked India’s largest privately held energy conglomerate, Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, for supporting the investment, describing it as part of efforts to revive US energy infrastructure and boost domestic refining capacity.
However, the announcement did not provide detailed financial disclosures or a breakdown of the proposed $300 billion investment structure.
The project was announced as the White House seeks to calm market concerns over rising energy prices linked to the conflict involving Iran and broader geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Iranian strikes on regional energy infrastructure and military bases have heightened fears of supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route.
Amid the intensifying conflict and volatile crude prices since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, the proposed refinery is expected to strengthen US energy resilience and expand refining capacity. Reliance Industries already operates the world’s largest refining complex in India's Jamnagar and has a market capitalisation of about $206 billion, according to market data.
