U.S. Uses Defense Production Act to Expand Delek Refinery

The U.S. is employing the Defense Production Act to expand a Delek (DK) refinery in Tyler, Texas, Vice President J.D. Vance stated while speaking in Texas, reported Bloomberg's Bryan Pietsch. The U.S. wants millions of gallons of commercial-grade and military-spec fuel to be output from the refinery in addition to what it's already producing, Vance is quoted as having stated. Other publicly traded refiners include HF Sinclair (DINO), Marathon Petroleum (MPC), Phillips 66 (PSX) and Valero (VLO).

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Opposes Trump's Diesel Export Ban

Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly.DIESEL EXPORT BAN:A number of big business groups in the U.S. sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump arguing against the president's proposed diesel export ban. "On behalf of U.S. businesses, manufacturers, refiners, and oil & gas producers, thank you for your continuing commitment to an unsurpassed U.S. energy industry," the letter reads. "More American energy means a stronger economy, greater energy security, and less leverage for our adversaries. Your policies have helped the U.S. lead the world in the production of oil and refined products. In service of this shared goal, we urge you to reject calls to ban or otherwise limit the exports of diesel and other products that have made the U.S. energy industry so strong."Export bans would lead to less fuel production, tighter supplies, and rising costs for American families, farmers, and truckers. With 10 percent of global refining capacity offline, U.S. refiners are running at full capacity to supply the U.S. and to help stabilize global fuel markets. The U.S. produces more diesel than it consumes, allowing us to meet domestic demand and to supply our allies in Latin America and Europe. U.S. crude oil exports have likewise helped keep refineries running in other parts of the world as disruptions occurred through the Strait of Hormuz. You have been asked by some to ban or limit the export of diesel to help lower prices, when in fact the opposite would occur."We, and indeed virtually every expert in the fuels market, fully agree with Secretaries Wright and Burgum that an export ban would force reductions in refining utilization, increase prices for gasoline and jet fuel, and lead to retaliatory actions from other countries. Exports allow U.S. refineries to balance their systems and maximize production. An export ban would require refineries to throttle utilization to reduce diesel production to equal domestic demand. Falling utilization would result in less gasoline and jet fuel production and higher prices for those products as well."Meanwhile, areas of the U.S. that import fuel (primarily the Northeast) would face higher prices for all fuels that would now be in even shorter supply globally. This could not come at a worse time for consumers as home heating oil season is about to begin. Beyond price impacts, restricting exports would be a gift to our competitors. American energy dominance comes from being a reliable supplier to the world. If we pull back, other countries will step in, our influence will shrink, and our adversaries will gain ground. America's energy exports are a source of economic and geopolitical strength. While we understand the urge for a silver bullet, there are no easy answers."We encourage you to continue the positive steps this Administration has taken to tamp down energy prices. For instance, targeted Jones Act waivers have helped keep more than 50 million gallons of fuel in the U.S. and helped to back out imports. Longer term, continuing to work with global partners on bringing more fuel supply back to the market and reducing barriers to producing and moving energy is critical, and will help attract more investment in refining capacity. The U.S. energy industry is the largest and most efficient in the world, and an indispensable economic and national security asset. We urge you to help maintain this advantage and to reject calls to ban the export of our products." The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, National Association of Manufacturers, and American Petroleum Institute are among signatories of the letter. Publicly-traded companies in the refining space include Delek US, HF Sinclair, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66and Valero.U.S.-CHINA MEETING:President Donald Trump stated in a Truth Social, "Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be 'SUPER!' Everyone last night agreed, also."PRESS BAN:Three news organizations banned from the White House for days were back Thursday after a judge handed CNN, MS NOW and Politico a reprieve in an extraordinary showdown between President Donald Trump and outlets whose coverage he dislikes, Associated Press' Jocelyn Noveck, Hallie Golden and Laurie Kellman. But media coverage of Trump's White House was hardly normal. On a high-profile day when Chinese leader Xi Jinping was visiting Washington and attending a state dinner, no major American network was airing live coverage. After the White House banned CNN from a rotation of five major U.S. broadcast outlets who take turns shooting and sharing video, the other four — in a show of solidarity — were still declining to participate in the so-called video pool, the authors note.
