Trump Extends Jones Act Waiver for Shipping Oil and Fertilizer by 90 Days
US President Donald Trump has extended the Jones Act waiver by 90 days, allowing foreign-flagged vessels to transport oil, fertilizer, and other commodities between US ports. This exemption, first introduced in March amid the US-Iran conflict, aims to ease shipping constraints and reduce rising fuel and fertilizer costs. The waiver operates on a case-by-case basis and has facilitated the transport of millions of barrels of petroleum products since its inception, providing greater flexibility in domestic cargo movement.
