House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans in the U.S. House ask President Donald Trump to allow a waiver of the Jones Act to expire. The Jones Act is a century-old U.S. shipping law that generally restricts certain maritime transport between U.S. ports to ships built, owned, and operated in the United States. The waiver was granted in March and is intended to influence fuel prices. According to the accounts, Johnson’s request is linked to whether the temporary policy remains necessary after its initial goals. The lawmakers are effectively urging the administration to end the waiver rather than renew it. The reports frame the move as part of ongoing discussions over the impact of the waiver on energy costs and other economic factors. No details are provided in the excerpts on the administration’s position, the duration of any potential renewal, or the specific outcomes that led lawmakers to seek expiration. The request centers on whether the March waiver should be allowed to lapse.
