    Trump Extends Jones Act Waiver Despite Criticism

    President Trump has extended a waiver allowing foreign-flagged vessels to transport oil and other commodities between U.S. ports for another 90 days, despite criticism that it hurts the domestic maritime industry and empowers U.S. adversaries. The administration initially waived the Jones Act in response to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, but after nearly five months and almost 200 foreign vessel voyages, there is no public evidence that the waiver has delivered any savings at the gasoline pump. Critics argue that the waiver benefits foreign operators and discourages investment in American vessels, contradicting Trump's 'America First' agenda.
