President Donald Trump extends a Jones Act waiver for 90 days that allows certain foreign-flagged ships to transport specified goods in U.S. coastal trade. The waiver applies to shipments involving energy and fertilizers, according to reporting that describes it as an additional temporary measure rather than a permanent change.
The extension keeps the waiver in place for a limited period while adjusting where and how it applies. One outlet reports that the waiver is narrowed compared with broader access previously provided, focusing on particular cargo types and limiting the range of eligible shipping activities.
The coverage focuses on the operational implications for U.S. logistics and supply chains, particularly for energy-related and fertilizer movements. While all accounts describe the same 90-day extension, they differ in emphasis—some highlight the duration and continued flexibility, while others emphasize the narrowed scope and tighter conditions tied to what foreign ships can carry and under what parameters.
