US invokes Korean War-era DPA to expand Texas refinery as diesel tops $6

The Trump administration invoked the Defense Production Act to expand Delek's Tyler, Texas refinery, a first use of the 1950 law for fuel production in this cycle, as diesel prices remain above $6.

It underscores persistent refining capacity constraints and elevated energy prices feeding inflation.
