What happened

Vice President JD Vance announced that the Trump administration has invoked the Defense Production Act to expand a refinery in Tyler, East Texas. The project aims to increase production of commercial- and military-specification fuel beyond current levels. The refinery, which was purchased by Delek in 2004, primarily processes light crude oil sourced from the Permian Basin and offshore in the Gulf.
