Trump Exempts from Execution of Jones Act to Curb High Oil Prices, Applies to Four Categories of Commodities Including Petroleum

Gate News: On March 18, U.S. President Donald Trump announced an exemption from the Jones Act to curb high oil prices. The exemption applies to the transportation of four categories of goods: oil, natural gas, fertilizers, and coal. The Jones Act requires that cargo transported between U.S. domestic ports must be carried on U.S.-flagged ships. The exemption will allow foreign vessels to participate in transportation, thereby reducing shipping costs.
