The Trump admin considers a 30-day Jones Act waiver for foreign ships to ease fuel and food shipments amid Middle East tensions.
The Trump administration is considering a temporary waiver of the Jones Act to ease fuel and agricultural shipments amid rising prices caused by Middle East tensions, particularly disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The move would allow foreign-flagged ships to transport energy and goods between U.S. ports for up to 30 days, aiming to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce costs, especially on the East Coast.
The waiver, still under review, would not affect U.S. energy exports and is part of broader efforts, including a 400 million barrel global reserve release and potential Navy escorts for tankers.
While past waivers were granted during disasters, critics caution any price relief would be modest due to broader market forces.
