Maritime Industry Urges Trump to Let Jones Act Waiver Expire November 15

The American Maritime Partnership (AMP) is urging President Trump to let the Jones Act waiver expire on November 15. The waiver, granted after Hurricane Maria, has been extended nearly eight months, causing concern among maritime industry stakeholders.

The AMP argues that the prolonged waiver has allowed foreign ships to compete with U.S.-flagged vessels, potentially harming the U.S. maritime industry and its workforce.
