I strongly support President Donald J. Trump announcing the first new American oil refinery in nearly fifty years because building a major refinery in Texas strengthens U.S. energy independence, creates thousands of jobs, and expands domestic fuel production that can help lower long term energy costs for Americans. 🇺🇸⛽

Do Democrats want gas to be cheaper? The answer is clearly NO. Cheaper gas under Trump highlights Biden/Kamala's disastrous energy policies that led to $5/gallon gas. And record-high gas prices led to record-high inflation under Bidenomics. When you see Democrats actively working against America succeeding under Trump, are you sure they are making the right political decisions for you and your family? Have Democrats convinced you that 9.1% inflation, $5/gal gas, and $8 for a dozen eggs under Bidenomics is better?

The conflict with Iran highlights how closely energy and national security are tied and supporters argue that expanding U.S. energy production strengthens America’s ability to withstand global shocks and defend its interests abroad. 🇺🇸 Analysts note that when the United States produces abundant oil and gas at home it reduces reliance on unstable foreign suppliers and limits the ability of adversaries to use energy markets as leverage against the country and its allies.
