US Suspends Jones Act To Lower Gasoline
|
6.2
On March 18, 2026, the Trump administration temporarily suspended the Jones Act, allowing foreign-flagged ships to transport fuel and goods between U.S. ports. Officials said the 60-day waiver aims to reduce transportation costs and ease gasoline prices, though analysts estimate about a $0.10 per gallon East Coast savings and expect effects to materialize over months. The pause has limited short-term impact on offshore wind installations.
