Lawmakers now say \u200bthose emergency conditions have passed and the waivers should end on schedule.<\/div>\n<div>In \u200btheir letter, Johnson and 51 other Republican lawmakers emphasize the importance of the Jones Act, which requires cargo moving between U.S. ports to be carried on American-built, owned, \u200band crewed ships.<\/div>\n<div>They argue that the law supports U.S. maritime jobs \u200band national security, and warn that continued waivers could weaken domestic shipping by allowing foreign-flagged \u200cvessels \u2060to operate in coastal trade even when U.S. ships are available.<\/div>\n<div>A White House official noted that \u201cthe second waiver extension does not expire until August 16\u201d and added that \u201cif there are any further announcements, they will be \u200bmade directly by \u200bthe President or \u2060the Administration.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>A White House spokesperson defended the waivers, pointing to their impact on fuel movement and market stability.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;New \u200bdata compiled since the initial Jones Act waiver was \u200bissued revealed \u2060that significantly more supply was able to reach U.S. ports faster,&#8221; Taylor Rogers, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement to Reuters.<\/div>\n<div>However, analysts have found \u2060the policy \u200bhas had only a limited effect on \u200bgasoline prices, largely because the volumes moved are small relative to total U.S. demand and \u200bshipping costs remain elevated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3456\">US declines to extend North American trade deal, starting clock to end it while seeking changes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3454\">S&amp;P 500, Dow rise after Warsh says inflation risks have eased<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3453\">Trump, Republicans to stage convention in Dallas ahead of midterms<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson and several Republican leaders are asking President Donald Trump \u200bto allow waivers to a law on shipping between domestic ports \u200cto expire in mid-August as scheduled, rather than extending them further, according to a letter seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3457,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7],"class_list":["post-3458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
