U.S. extends exemption for transport of goods by foreign ships
Donald Trump has extended the Jones Act exemption for 90 days, allowing the transport of commodities between U.S. ports by foreign vessels.
President Donald Trump announced a 90-day extension of the Jones Act exemption, which allows foreign-flagged ships to transport oil and other commodities between ports in the United States. This decision was reported by the White House.
However, the extension comes with new limits, after shipbuilders expressed concerns that the policy was harming the domestic maritime sector.
