Jones Act Waiver Faces New Scrutiny Over Foreign Crews, Taxes

The Trump administration's Jones Act waiver is facing increased scrutiny from Congress, with Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Calif.) questioning whether foreign vessels operating in domestic U.S. trades are complying with U.S. laws and paying appropriate taxes.

Carbajal has sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, seeking information on the waiver's impact on U.S. jobs and the maritime industry.
