Trump administration extends Jones Act waiver for 90 days to reduce oil prices

President Trump has extended a shipping waiver for 90 days to facilitate the movement of oil, fuel, and fertilizer within the U.S., a measure aimed at addressing rising energy costs linked to the conflict with Iran. While the extension is part of a broader strategy to mitigate fuel price spikes before the November midterm elections, its effectiveness in lowering consumer prices remains uncertain. Analysts suggest that the waiver may provide minimal relief, with some estimating only a slight decrease in East Coast gas prices.
