Vance says Trump will use the Defense Production Act to expand Delek's 74,000-barrel-a-day refinery in Tyler, Texas
The expansion would make commercial and military-spec fuel as Iran-war prices hit drivers.
Vice President JD Vance announced the plan on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at a Tyler campaign stop for Texas Senate nominee Ken Paxton, pitching it as a fix for Iran-war fuel prices. The refinery processes about 74,000 barrels a day, per Reuters. Reuters cites no signed order, and the White House and Delek did not say how much capacity, money or time the expansion involves.
