White House Expected to Extend Jones Act Waiver for Fuel Shipments

The Trump administration is anticipated to extend a temporary waiver of the Jones Act, which is set to expire on Sunday, November 15. This extension would allow foreign-flagged ships to continue carrying certain commodities, such as fuel, on domestic routes, a measure intended to alleviate transportation constraints and manage costs. The waiver has been in effect since March 17 and was previously extended twice following the Iran war.
