Trump weighs extending waiver to ease US fuel shipments - Axios
US President Donald Trump is considering extending a temporary Jones Act waiver that allows foreign-flagged vessels to move fuel and other goods between US ports, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing US officials.
The waiver, issued for 60 days starting March 17, was intended to help ease pressure on fuel prices by increasing shipments from the US Gulf Coast to other domestic markets amid disruptions linked to the Iran war.
According to Axios, the potential extension would continue to allow foreign-flagged cargo ships to operate in domestic shipping routes, aiming to support supply flows during ongoing market volatility.
