Trump extends Jones Act waiver with new limits amid Iran conflict

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Donald Trump has extended the Jones Act waiver for 90 days, allowing foreign-flagged ships to transport goods between US ports. This decision aims to ensure the US military and key industries have continued access to essential resources, particularly amid global supply chain disruptions and rising fuel costs due to the conflict with Iran. However, the waiver's scope has been narrowed, requiring individual voyage reviews instead of blanket exemptions, a change prompted by domestic shipbuilders' concerns about the policy's impact on the US maritime industry.
