Trump Directive to Boost US Oil and Fuel Production Via DPA

Hyperdash News|10/09/2026 17:35 UTCCommodities

The White House is weighing the use of the Defense Production Act to expand U.S. oil refining capacity, according to sources. This follows a meeting between President Trump and nearly a dozen refiners. Refiners reportedly favor federal support for expanding existing plants or boosting efficiency over building new facilities.

This consideration comes as U.S. refinery utilization has reached 98%. The move is seen as a way to address the country's vulnerability to global crude supply disruptions. In the minute since the news was published,
